I just hope these guys aren't hung out to dry when they shoot someone who turns out to be someone's dad, son, brother,etc, who was "just trying to get something for his family to eat". I can hear it now. These guardsmen won't have a military mindset backing them. They'll have a bleeding heart liberal looking for poll numbers.
I pray for them. Somehow, I think they would rather be doing this in Iraq for a whole number of reasons.
You forgot the part where "he's turning his life around" by "just trying to get something for his family to eat!" That's usually how the sentences start here in Boston when some clown gets shot, he's turning his life around, yes indeedy.
