But if you read up about it, they have called home over 200k troops since obama's been in office. So if august was the bloodiest, this maybe why.

500k from where? That would be nice. But he added troops in Afghanistan and extended tours from 12 to 14 months for some.
We have 150k troops in Europe, 130ish in Iraq and 40kis in Afghanistan. Where did we bring home 500k?
