They have 6 months between deployments.

Deployments are back down to 12 months now, starting last August.

Still too long. Its time to get out of there all together. Obama should be pressed to get out of Iraq now.

Are you referring to brigades already in country? I don't think its retroactive - only applies to new deployments.

You dare use a tragedy within US troops to make a stupid point about gun control?
