Eug, would those rough men who are prepared to do violence on the behalf of [the highest bidder] be the contractor Blackwater which will soon be known as the Civilian Aux. Corps? Reminds me of Alaska Barge & Transit in RVN. They had more ordnance than we did. I'm fed to here with the BS. We've got a permanent beachhead in the oilpatch, we're going to keep it, and you can take it to the bank there'll be a bipartisan consensus on that after the 08 election no matter which waffling anti-warrior we elect. Wonder how long before we get a new Draft Act before Congress? Be only fair. The Guard and Reserves have done their bit and deserve to have the burden shifted. I say that as a draftee who never had much use for weekend warriors. Of course those hired mercenaries avoid awaking the silent (snore) but somewhat sqeamish majority.
