Law of intended consequences

How many of these 63,000+ troops coming back from Iraq are in the reserves and will be released from service?

How many of these soon-to-be released reservists have civilian jobs?

I hope we are not going to have a repeat of 1919 with GIs coming back only to find themselves unemployed and in an economy where there is already a shortage of jobs.

One can't just demobilize and tell the troops "Thank you for your service, now get the <explicative deleted) out of here".
