Hey, Don!

And speaking of Donald Rumsfeld. Wasn’t I? Even if I wasn’t…I heard this story yesterday. Apparently, the National Guard, which makes up 1/3 of our armed forces in Iraq, is forced to leave Iraq without the “stuff” they brought with them when their time of service is over. If they brought their trucks, they stay in Iraq. Helicopters? They stay. Heavy machineguns? Yes, they become the property of those who are left behind. Now that actually makes sense…except for the fact that none of this “old stuff” gets replaced with “new stuff” once the troops are home again. Now we have National Guard troops without the equipment they need to train and stay ready for their next deployment.
