Drawing Down Troops from Afghanistan

.

In Wednesday's speech, President Obama stated:

Thanks to our men and women in uniform, our civilian personnel, and our many coalition partners, we are meeting our goals. As a result, starting next month, we will be able to remove 10,000 of our troops from Afghanistan by the end of this year, and we will bring home a total of 33,000 troops by next summer, fully recovering the surge I announced at West Point. After this initial reduction, our troops will continue coming home at a steady pace as Afghan security forces move into the lead. Our mission will change from combat to support. By 2014, this process of transition will be complete, and the Afghan people will be responsible for their own security.

As a reward for their heroic efforts on behalf of the Afghan people will will be sending these troops to exotic Tripoli for some well deserved R and R where there are no hostilities.
