Cleaning Stables Instead Of A M-16 (OPEN THREAD)
Instead of preparing for eventual combat in Iraq and Afgahnistan, some National Guard Soldiers are being used to clean out stables:
“Authorities say troops near El Paso, Texas, are doing video surveillance and tending to horses.”
This is not funny, it is very sad. Some of the soldiers deployed to the border will be in Iraq and Afgahnistan in the next 24 months. Some of those soldiers will never return.
The worst thing you can do to any soldier is to “steal training.”
