Iraq Study Group warns of strain on U S military and civil relations
The Iraq Study Group calls the U S armed forces nearly at a breaking point from prolonged combat in Iraq and Afghanistan and urges restoration of military readiness and better civilian–military relations. It notes strained budgets, degraded equipment, and depleted reserves as key risks. It also suggests moving troops from Iraq to Afghanistan if Bush accepts its near total drawdown by early 2008.
