Bush Plans to Shift Thousands of Troops

President Bush announces plans to bring home some 70,000 U.S. troops now serving in foreign lands. The idea was well received at the Veterans of Foreign Wars convention, where the president spoke Monday.

The goal of the 10-year plan is to enable the rapid deployment of troops when needed, an element of the military's Global Posture Review. NPR's Don Gonyea reports.

You're most likely to find NPR's Don Gonyea on the road, in some battleground state looking for voters to sit with him at the local lunch spot, the VFW or union hall, at a campaign rally, or at their kitchen tables to tell him what's on their minds. Through countless such conversations over the course of the year, he gets a ground-level view of American elections. Gonyea is NPR's National Political Correspondent, a position he has held since 2010. His reports can be heard on all NPR News programs and at NPR.org. To hear his sound-rich stories is akin to riding in the passenger seat of his rental car, traveling through Iowa or South Carolina or Michigan or wherever, right along with him.
