91. The neocons may be PLEASED at Nat'l Guard recruitment shortfalls:
Edited on Wed Aug-31-05 02:56 PM by Nothing Without Hope
What if the neocons are secretly PLEASED that National Guard recruitment is down? What if they have intended all along to send them out of the country, use them up, and throw them away? If there IS no more National Guard - for I believe it would no longer exist as a separate entity if they could get away with this - then there will be no way to complain that the US civilian population is under the "protection" of Pentagon-directed regular military troops. ALL troops would be under the control of the Pentagon.

OUR National Guards have been badly abused, sent out to die in an immoral war without a mission or even body armor. No wonder they seem like just cannon fodder to the neocons. THEY ARE.

Let's consider this further. What are signs pointing to this? What are implications?
