I still live near Ft. Carson and one of my friend's husband is an E7 with orders for Iraq. Now here's what I don't understand. She says the time of his deployment is pretty vague - he could go this month or next.

Mari - having now thought a little bit more about the subject a light bulb has gone off. things that i take for granted as making sense can indeed seem nefarious if you are indeed looking for the devil inside every Bush.
Do you remember the old saying "loose lips sink ships"? maybe the posters? the reality is that we are fighting an intelligent adaptable enemy. they know which US military units are designed for what type of mission. If they know when a specific unit is leaving a specific area they can make plans around that information. what the military has found in recent years is that sometimes the most sensitive info that can assist the enemy is sitting right out in the open. a flurry of phone calls, conversations in a city about the upcoming deployment, mentions of units and departures on bulletin boards...
savvy?
