Uhm.
Have your parents looked at a new site in the last 2 years?
We haven't been seriously deployed in Iraq nor are we still seriously deployed.
Sure we're doin all the airstrikes and jazz, but ISIS does not have the capability to shoot down our planes nor have they been able to.

That's what I'm talking about.
My parents think that everyone in the military is going to be deployed in the Middle East.
The thing is I'm more likely to get deployed because of my background, but in this case I doubt we'll be there for long. |

We neither have forces in Iraq and are moving away from Afghanistan. So a trip to the Middle East is not likely. |

Well, that's some wishful thinking.
To be honest, you're right in the sense that it's unlikely that you'll be placed in the middle east right now. But at the same time, things are only escalating over there, and I have a sickening feeling that we will see troops deployed in massive numbers again within the next few years with the way things are headed, but you shouldn't need to worry about it now. |

Especially if we get a republican president* might I add.
And Vaul, we currently have troops deployed in Iraq, 3,000 or so to be precise but they are strictly assigned to non combat roles.
They've only engaged against ISIS forces once and that was due to self defense. |

No, it's 3,000.
With 3100 maximum permitted at the moment. |
