#1 But, but, but...aren't they ALL deployed to Iraq and aren't the states woefully undefended and just can't scrape up the funds to fully train the troops?

That's what the governors of California, Kansas, and Louisiana have said to the media?

Woe, woe, woe! Who, oh, ever who are we to believe?

#2 Who, oh, ever who are we to believe?

We're to believe in the incredibly worthy young women and men who willingly put themselves in harm's way to defend our nation against those who would do us great and grievous harm. No matter how hard I try, whenever I meet these brave warriors in the street, I cannot possibly thank them enough. I'd like to think that such a feeling will never change.

#3 the generation(s) that so many disparage have shown their stuff. In time of war against barbaric animals, with stealth killing by IEDs - they volunteer. Against the Donk/MSM antiwar propaganda - they volunteer. They deserve your praise and respect

#4 WAFF.com > THE ARMED CIVIL GUARD OF US STATES. Iff I remember the correct number, according to this article 29-20 US States have armed State Civil Guards/Militias to back up local USDOD Reserves and National Guard - some States even belabel = empower their local Civil Guards as "National Guard Reserve(s)". Are State-funded and responsible only to the State Governor = State Gubmint. WOT > WAR AGZ AMERICA - as said times before, I doubt Amer's enemies, INCLUDING ANTI-AMER AMERICANS, are gonna care whether Amer unilaterally accepts ANTI-US OWG-SWO, or is milpol forced to do by the "world/international community".
