Wow, interesting stuff here! turn on MSNBC.

edit: Reservists can't leave, reportedly jumping over barbed wire fences to get out, morale is awful, people are deserting.

4. now a Lt. Col. is on.--giving the other side of the story
says there is adequate training--rigorous.

Says they replicate the considitions the guard would see in Iraq but his contradicts what the quard troops are saying.

3. For yet more heartache...
Here is an article that is posted in the DU Breaking News area.



http://www.connpost.com/Stories/0,1413,96~3750~2566834,...

A serviceman, apparently distraught over the prospect of being sent back to the war in Iraq, threatened to kill himself as he stood naked and screaming outside his house.

Police took the man into custody at his Fernwood Drive house. He was taken for treatment to Bridgeport Hospital.

Dispatched to investigate a report of a possible suicide attempt Thursday, officers saw the man naked with blood on his body in front of the garage area, police said. As officers approached, the man yelled at them and ran back into the house, according to police.
