Can You Imagine?

I am stealing this Washington Post quote from firedoglake:

The bulk of the 172nd Brigade was still in Iraq when Rumsfeld extended their deployment as part of a plan to quell the escalating violence in Baghdad. Overall, the brigade has about 3,900 troops.

Another 300 soldiers from the unit had left Iraq and gotten to Kuwait, and were about to board flights home when they were called back.

Can you imagine waiting for your husband, son or DAD when you are told that they were sent back?
