“I am further behind or in an even more dire situation than the active Army, but we both have the same symptoms, I just have a higher fever.” — Lt. Gen. H. Steven Blum on the fact that more than two-thirds of the Army National Guard’s 34 brigades are not combat ready. [AP, 8/1/06]

Seriously, someone out there in the GOP camp please try to tell me how this is good for America.
