I don't understand the whole hype of this because there are still a lot of units still over there. There shouldn't even be a celebration of this until every man and woman is home.

Yes but they aren't combat troops. They are more of a supportive role for Iraqi security, or so they say.

Combat units are still present in Iraq and continuing to deploy as we speak. Look up the 3rd Armored Cavalry Regiment for a unit that just recently got over there. It's semantics used by Obama and the media alike. Infantry, Armor, Artillery and all the support jobs are still in Iraq. It's how we portray their role in Iraq is how the powers that be are claiming no combat troops are there.
