Oh, Welcome to The Real World!
The Fed. Govt. cut over many Years the Military Budget saying the The Researves and National Guard will be the fill ins.
Well, Now They are and Our Civilian Soldiers are many who are losing their lives. Because of the cut backs which are going on today is the reason.
Our Weekend Worriers who may be call up "In A Time Of National Emerencys" are Now over In War Zones. They are not just weekend any more are they?
National Emergencys are of Local Importance such as Kristina and Helping Our Home People.
It is the Same GOVt. that Cut The Coast Guard Budget which now seems to be very Important for Home Land Security!
It is the same Govt. that Cut INS Budgets before OOPs Illegal Aliens.
Maybe that will answer Your ???s!
