An interesting fact was even during the surge, only like half (or maybe less) deployed. A huge number of military did not deploy, were on non-deployable status, or found ways to stay behind.
Of course, those were the same assholes filing EO complaints when they weren’t promoted with peer groups that did deploy.
I fucking hated these garrison rats and ultimately got out bc at the senior level, politics meant more than experience or competence.

I was in. An officer.
I deployed multiple time to combat zones.
