What does that have to do with OUR wallets? About the only people who serve with money on their minds are AF pilots (that's an inside joke by the way).

Don't hold your breath thinking the dems will up and bring back the troops (or give up, or cut and run, all the same). Except for a few far lefties, most dems realize we can't leave yet. Most of our troops know the same thing, even if you don't. We'll continue to keep the hordes at bay while you do squat.
