There have been several suicides among soldiers who had been reassigned to front line active duty despite a mental health red flag.<BR/><BR/>I don't think this administration sees the soldiers as real actual people, they've become an almost disposable commodity, not someone’s child<BR/><BR/>Sorry to be so pessimistic about it all, but that's how I see it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10681857.post-1147745877237220552006-05-15T22:17:00.000-04:002006-05-15T22:17:00.000-04:00I watched the speech and he actually did address t...I watched the speech and he actually did address the need to go after the employers. But he insisted that we have enough guardsmen to fight the "war on terror," assist in local disaster relief AND patrol the border. How? <BR/><BR/>They're going to have to dip into the Army Reserve and the regular Army to carry out all of these tasks. I'm surprised that there aren't lots of people going AWOL. Or maybe they are and that info is being downplayed.Michelle Pessoahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06730504253807606256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10681857.post-1147741784796349142006-05-15T21:09:00.000-04:002006-05-15T21:09:00.000-04:00Yes, if you enjoy being lied to and don't mind tha...Yes, if you enjoy being lied to and don't mind that the president and his handlers treating the American public like a bunch of morons.<BR/><BR/>Any poor soul who enters the National Guard is up for many years of being misused and being underappreciated. But do remember, there are many laws that this administration has skirted around, the military as a police force will probably be another one those rules that will be reinterpreted. And sadly, very few people will actually protest or be concerned about this.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
