Since Sept. 11, 2001, more than 143,000 National Guard members have been mobilized worldwide.

Tennessee’s top National Guard unit, which hasn’t been called to combat since the Korean War, is getting ready for Iraq. The weekend warriors must go, but what happens after they return home?

The war in Iraq has slammed into most of Tennessee like a tornado, crashing into the lives of over 4,000 National Guard families, jolting employers, surprising the troops.

“A bit excited, but also a bit stunned,” said 19-year-old John Fogerty.

Scenes like this are nationwide. Some say that’s because Pentagon planners didn’t plan so well.

1. Good Leaders keep their people out of wars unless absolutely

unavoidable.

The Bush likes to weild a stick and has shown to be an angry sort of fella. A very bad combo. Look for the Pubs to stay away from this subject.

It all boils down to a bad bet. Too many voters went for the Bush, now he is displaying many signs he was a bad choice in the election 3 years ago. In a sense, we get what we vote for.

Din't get mad, get even. Any Body But Bush.
