If we have to deploy our "National Guard" overseas, there is something inherently wrong with our military layout. We obviously need a much larger military. Just where does our record levels of taxes go, if our military is so small that we cannot take on Iraq with our hands tied behind our backs? Or politicians brag we can take on both Russia and China in a two front war, but are having to strip the reserves to fight a half a front war?!

Who the heck is guarding our home, if we are sending our Guard overseas?!!!

There are enough of us old Retirees here who:

1. Are still in shape
2. Take great Stock in the 2nd Amendment (wink)
3. Are in an enormous number of the those same community jobs

Hell, we're just a bunch of old fire house dogs that heard the fire bell ring and want to get to the fire too, but know we can't so we'll stay and guard the firehouse; we've still got our teeth (see item#2 above).
