"I remember during the riots they showed Koreans defending their shops by firing warning shots at the looters. The looters all retreated of course but from both the tone of voice and the commentary the attitude seemed to be that these Koreans shouldn't be taking the law into their own hands."

Even worse, in some cases the LAPD disarmed many of those Korean Shopkeepers who were defending their property, and themselves from the heathen thugs looting their neighborhoods.

I know of one National Guardsman who's company was sent out to stand guard in a neighborhood shopping center without ammunition. They had empty magazines!

He told me he was never more frightened in his life then the time a car full of thugs pulled into the shopping center with their fully loaded firearms. His company was sweating profusely, yet the held their bluff, and the pukes left the area.

Needless to say, when his hitch was up he left the National Guard with a few pointed words. I can't say that I blame him.

Yes, I remember Rodney King, and he is definately a loser.

The very idea of this sends chills down my spine.

I didn't enlist in the military when I was younger (wish I did, I wouldn't have had such a missspent youth! ;) ) but stories like this are why I would *never* join the National Guard or Reserves. I've hard too many times about them being deployed, particularly after events like 11 Sept 11, being sent to guardbuilding,s infrastructure, or people... without ammunition and without body armor. No than you! I will not join an organization that puts the lives of it's members at risk and purposefully denies them the ability to defend themselves and what they have been assigned to defend.
