100 Oregon National Guard Leave Home For Afghanistan
DALLAS, Ore. - One hundred Oregon national guard soldiers and 100 families are all preparing for a year-long sacrifice.
It began with a "Call of Duty" ceremony in Dallas Saturday. For some it's a first. For others, this is a familiar feeling.

This is interesting. When I read "The Three Trillion Dollar War: The True Cost of the Iraq Conflict" by Linda Bilmes and Joseph Stiglitz, they talked about how, when Hurricane Katrina struck New Orleans, the reason for the late response was because of the lack of National Guardsmen, simply because they had been sent to Iraq in the "Surge" due to the lack of ordinary soldiers.

In the end, Katrina cost the US a great deal more than it should have and the only entity that can be blamed is the US administration and the warmongers within it.

I don't support this, we have enough not being "national guarded" at home, like the border for instance.

It's not their job. It's called the "national" guard for a reason.
Time to stop the wars....
But then the money stops flowing. The media would never let that happen...

Its called "national" guard to differentiate the chain of command that falls under the governor of the state, the Chief of Army can come in if need be. National is just a formality. Each state has their own national guard but ultimately they all fall under POTUS.

Katrina hit New Orleans in August, 2005. The "surge" didn't even start until early 2007.

Ok, but you think only reservists were being shipped out before the Surge? Think again!

Like nearly everything you say, that makes no sense. No troops started shipping out for the Surge until January of 2007, which was a year and a half after hurricane Katrina.
