Thank you all for the good thoughts.

My opinion is that if the situation were reversed the US would redeploy troops for us Brits. That's what friends and allies do. Thats why I've titled this thread the way I have.

Just so you know, not everyone over here agrees with me though. There has been some disagreement in some quarters about the redeployment of the British soldiers.

But what I have seen and heard from the soldiers themselves, their attitude is so matter of fact sort of it's 'their job '. It is what they are trained for, it is what they do. They go in peace but will fight if they need to. I am sure is the attitude of the US boys out there too.

Lord, please bring them all home safe and sound.
