Study Concludes That Army Is "Stretched Thin"

@ 08:26 PM (31 months, 8 days ago)

A study conducted for the Pentagon has concluded that the army is stretched thin, and has become a "thin green line" in danger of snapping.

According to USA Today, the report, written by Andrew Krepinevich (a retired Army officer) says the Army "cannot sustain the pace of troop deployments to Iraq long enough to break the back of the insurgency."

Krepinevich says the Army is in a "race against time."
