That was my choice, given how poorly most media do in reporting.

Considering that we did not have enough military facilities to
adequately support the mobilization of National Guard troops back in
2003 - I suspect that there is nothing left that can be cut without
impairing the ability of the military to win wars.

Newflash, we are at the end of tolerance by the US Citizens on all of this.
I have yet to see tolerance go beyond 4 years and we are entering the fourth
year. Citizens give their permission through voting. In this case, they
give it through enlistments and retention which are failing badly.

The Administration is trimming the fat for the near future. Most of the
bases were pork ones. Why would we need a base for 6 Aircraft. Why have a
base for one squadron of anything.

As for the National Guard,. most states have a very bad problem of Guard
enlistment and retention. What was done was a short term fix and it broke
the system as it is. A new fix is in place now to attempt to fix the fix
which definately shows the system is more broke than before. The One year
and four months enlistments in the Army. Yes, not One year and 6 months so
they can get Veterans Benefits, but 2 months short, then they are reservists
if they seperate where they can be called up for the next X number of years
at the whims of the DOD. What's strange is, I haven't seen this little
tidbit covered by any of the NewsServices. They just print the PR from the
DOD and tell about the enlistment period. They don't cover how these people
will be shortchanged in the process.

I have also not seen any of the 404thk00ks say much on this subject either.
Could it be that you have egg on your faces?

What do you mean "former Confederate states". It's all part of our plan.


The South Will Rise Again.
No.
Belay that.
The South Has Risen Again.

Was that why all those Rednecks were spreading yeast all over the place in

I'd say they are short on mobilization facilities already.
