That is also one of the reasons Bush and Obama could not simply "end the wars". Consider how many reservists and guard are deployed as a full time job.
Consider the unemployment and the economy back at home.
Consider how "firing" (ending the war) these full time employees (reserve and guard) and the effects of dumping them on the local economy.
No jobs now, no jobs when they demob.
Kinda F-ed up when keeping reservists and guards in harms way is an economic stimulus program.
Everything is interlaced.
