[QUOTE="diesel96, post: 388588, member: 9859"] Of all the soldiers serving in Iraq, none affect their home communities as much as those serving in the Army National Guard. Torn from their jobs, these “weekend warriors,” many of whom signed up out of a promise of free college tuition and a part-time job, have been thrown into a conflict thousands of miles away from home. Refusing to institute a draft for such an unpopular war, President Bush has chosen instead to "draft" these heroic community servants into a foreign conflict to supplement an army too small to carry out such a war without a draft. Since Sept. 11, more than 210,000 of the Guard's 330,000 soldiers have been called up to active duty. Instead of protecting their states from natural diseasters, and federal domestic emergencies, these guardspeople are dying in unprecedented numbers outside of our borders with no end to the bloodshed in sight.
