I've seen numerous articles about how the active Marine Corp folks were the MOST effective in establishing good relations and security in the parts of Iraq where they were deployed. When replaced by undertrained and poorly-led National Guard units, the security situation went to hell.green libertarianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06014934312741784769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-1155852739791310612006-08-17T15:12:00.000-07:002006-08-17T15:12:00.000-07:00Date still being discussed.

States only. Could be loaned for short times from one Governor to another in disaster time. But not for International use. That International use is for Arm Services, and Reserves. <BR/>Who changed that? I thought maybe I was going crazy, as others didn't think I knew what I was talking about. Thanks, Herb, even if it is just you and I who think this way.Word Tosserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03519547102435672497noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-1155794669030560912006-08-16T23:04:00.000-07:002006-08-16T23:04:00.000-07:00I was kinda wondering if your blogfest is still be...I was kinda wondering if your blogfest is still being planned, and if banned HBO commenters would be banned from attending the party?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10432089.post-1155763237585376782006-08-16T14:20:00.000-07:002006-08-16T14:20:00.000-07:00Somehow, my comment option went away.
