Um, why is it that this story is about Oregon NG troops and the Oregon NG AG is interviewed and quoted in the story and hE is blaming others.

Why isn't he asked what he attempted to do to correct the identified problems.

Looks to me like he might be part of the problem.

These fellows are on active, assigned to the Arkansas National Guard brigade which is deployed as part of the 1st Cavalry Division.

It might be that it is out of the Oregon AG's hands. Those Oregon boys have been through quite a tough time over there. From Baghdad to Najaf with several fatalities. Hopefully someone can get this taken care of.

Maybe it is, but I find it hard to accept that the Oregon NG is powerless in this situation.

Yes they have, as have many of our troops. And that is specifically why I find it difficult to swallow that the Oregon NG hasn't done a better job at supporting them on this end.
