		The US military, which is composed of an all-volunteer force, is not suited to handle large-scale missions for long periods of time.
		Indeed, US troops are spread so thin that the Pentagon announced on Wednesday that the army would expand its "stop-loss" program, meaning thousands of soldiers who planned on retiring from the military will now be forced to extend their terms of service and join their units in combat in Iraq or Afghanistan.
		Furthermore, since US troops are being used to their "maximum utility", the Pentagon has been forced to rely on reserve and National Guard soldiers for combat missions, rather than for their traditional combat support roles.

	US redeployments to Iraq rattle South Korean alliance \| csmonitor.com
		The understanding, however, was that the US headquarters in Seoul would be the first to move south of the capital, while the 2nd Division would remain in place for several more years and the US would keep 37,000 troops in the country.
		In an exercise in face-saving, Korean foreign ministry and defense officials made a point of being the first to reveal the plan, saying the US was diverting to Iraq as many as 4,000 troops from the Second Infantry Division, the forwardmost American combat division in Asia.
		Kim concedes the validity of that argument but also believes the US decision to scale back here is "in response to the anti-American movement" and predicts that Washington "will continue the reduction of its troops." In the end, he says, US concern about China will persuade Washington to have second thoughts about further withdrawals.
