The Associated Press: Obama favors more rest time between combat tours

At a town meeting Wednesday in Wisconsin, he said recent efforts to boost the size of the Marine Corps are paying off in longer deployment intervals. But he said it'll take 'about a year' to boost the Army to give troops appropriate rest."
