A guy with a uniform, flag patch, and a gun is a soldier. You can call him a "fighting soldier" or a "transitional soldier". It's semantics to satisfy his base. When there are still 50,000 guys with uniforms, flag patches, and guns then you are still occupying in my book.
Don't get me wrong, the sooner the better. But the declaration is an election year stunt. It's the same as the Mission Accomplished backdrop.
