The Army Reservist, Joe Boyd, is a member of my brother's unit! GREAT guy!

OTB is outing himself yet again as an idiot!

Missouri National Guard ping...

Bob Holden is an idiot!

Once again, Bob "One-Term" Holden shows what a goofball he is. Members of his own party can't stand him, and that's something when Democrats won't back you.

"dangerous duty the soldiers have not been trained to perform"

Missouri National Guard troops aren't trained to provide security?

Just talked with a friend who recently returned from Iraq in April hauling jet fuel for Haliburton from south of Baghdad to Anaconda. His convoy of 25 trucks got the snot hammered out of them on Good Friday (I think he said they left 3 trucks with 6,000 gal each of fuel burning on the road), most of the drivers in the convoy quit immediately and headed home. He said at the time they only had three army vehicles (MP's) with the entire convoy. He has since talked to some of the drivers who remained and said they now have a shooter (Army) in every third vehicle and they've cut down the size of the convoys. The drivers like that much better since they could not carry weapons and this way feel like they have at least a little more cover.

Holden is a fool, he has no idea what's going on over there. Seems to me the military has some interest in protecting American civilians whether Holden likes it or not.

OTB? One-term Bob? That's funny.

[Eagle Eye]

What? It's too dangerous for armed soldiers but ok for unarmed civilians???

[LIB_CRUSHER]

Allah forbid the U.S.mility does the job they're trained for!Now they are supposed to just give up their weapons and submit to a beheading so the democrats in senate can sleep better at night knowing that only the American suffers a horrific death and the islamo fascist is comfortable!I mean we would'nt want the enemy to be hurt when there are Americans to be punished for frat house pranks,as opposed to savage beheadings that need to be implemented by filthy bums in dirty nightgowns!

They ought to send the Honorable Gov Holden to Iraq to drive around the country unarmed and unprotected and see if he still objects so strongly.

"Gov. Bob Holden and the state adjutant general, Brig. Gen. Dennis Shull, have complained to the White House about the practice, saying it is a dangerous duty the soldiers have not been trained to perform."

Bitch, bitch, bitch. Tell me, has anyone heard Bush being given an Attaboy recently? I didn't think so.
