The Louisiana National Guard unit that was called home in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina was ordered yesterday to prepare to return to Iraq for its second tour.
The members of the 256th Brigade Combat Team were not alone.
Pentagon officials notified about 40,000 active-duty and National Guard soldiers yesterday that they will be deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan in the upcoming months and years. About 25,000 active-duty troops and 14,000 National Guard members will be called to replace those returning from the region. The majority will be going to Iraq.

The O'Bummerites should be happy wiht the Afghanistan deployment. He's hot on the trail of SpookDaddy 1,2,3 and 4, and the builders of various Masonic Lodges in the area.
