No More "Global War On Terror"
I don't exactly know what to do with my Global War On Terror Expeditionary Medal and Service Medal, but perhaps according to the Democratic Congress, they need to be revoked.
The Military Times is reporting that in the 2008 defense budget, the "catch phrase" "global war on terror" is not to be used. Instead, "the war in Iraq," "the war in Afghanistan," and "ongoing military operations" should be used.
This may have two consequences: In future defense budgets, they may alot specific funds for certain wars, i.e. 250 million for the war in Afghanistan and 1 million for the war in Iraq, as opposed to giving a specific amount to be used generally in the War On Terror. As well, Democrats who commonly say we "need to fight the real War On Terror in Afghanistan" may have to find a new catch phrase of their own if they want to appear hawkish or troop-supportive in any regard.
