All 50 Governors and the National Guard
I said I was going to stay away from the subjects Worried American covers so well but since I have an Army veteran son now serving in the National Guard, this is of special interest to me.
Seems like the state governors have figured it out as well.
We all know are soldiers aren't properly supplied with the equipment they need. As Rumsfeld proudly said "we go to war with the weapons we have". Did he mean barefoot soldiers, no armor, and antiquated vehicles? What did he mean by that callous, unfeeling statement?
To me it means that in spite of their pious proclamations about our brave soldiers, they just don't care.
Now what available equipment there is has been shipped overseas leaving the National Guard in the states without the means to perform what should be their duty. Floods, hurricanes, fires take their toll here every year. Remember Katrina and Rita?
The National Guard should be at home doing the jobs it was meant to do with the equipment necessary to perform those duties.
(If anyone read this before and thought I was nuts, sorry. A phone rang and I got distracted. I didn't realize I had a paragraph or two left to write.)
From truthout today.

Granny Ann: Absolutely our Natl Guard should be home... defending our NATION, hence the name NATIONAL Guard. And I am at a complete loss for words in reference to your needle dicked troll who feels the need to degrade your age.
So would this asshat prefer that all people say past age 50 be made to jump off a cliff per the govt's orders? THAT is certainly a pro-life and compassionate conservative stance, eh?
Well, if so, he better wise the hell up. If his pathetic hate spewing ass is 41, age 50 is just right around the corner for him.
Sorry for my rant... I'm sure he received no parenting after he was shit out on a tree stump by his cretin momma... how else could his hatred toward grandmothers be explained? Talk about a Freudian nightmare.
