摘要

When Barack Obama addressed the graduates of West Point, the army's elite academy, in 2009 he told the assembled cadets that he "would gladly order every single one of our troops home tomorrow" if he did not think that the country's security was at stake. That day he announced a plan to send 30,000 extra troops to fight in Afghanistan. Four of the cadets who were in the audience lost their lives there. On May 28th he gave a fresh class of West Point graduates another message: "You are the first class to graduate since 9/11 who may not be sent into combat in Iraq or Afghanistan." At the beginning of Mr Obama's presidency nearly 180,000 American troops were fighting wars. On current planning, that number will be reduced to a few thousand by the time he leaves office. Under what circumstances then, might the assembled cadets in their grey uniforms and white caps be sent to fight?
