One thing we cannot ignore is the mess that Donald Rumsfield is making of our armed forces. The troops are stretched so thin that we have are now dependent upon National Guard Troops in Iraq. This is just plain stupid. How did we ever let Rumsfield get us into this situation. People better start waking up before the draft is re-instituted. The all volunteer Army will not remain so very long if the guys know they are going to spend all their time in hell holes like Iraq or go off to Germany with their families who are left behind in a foreign country to fend for themselves while their spouses go off to Iraq..... because we do not have any forces available to deploy there......
