That's a first. The gezegde

 That's a first. The Guard can't claim that (level of combat) for World War II or World War I ? the other major wars we fought in. Never more than 50 percent of the combat forces were Guard.

 Last year, we provided more than 50 percent of the combat forces on the ground in Iraq. This is a different paradigm, a different National Guard than any of us in this room ever envisioned being even possible, let alone being practically employed.

 History offers no evidence for the proposition that the assignment of women to military combat jobs is the way to win wars, improve combat readiness, or promote national security.
  Phyllis Schlafly

 [The sun is setting on American dreams in Iraq; what remains now to be worked out are the modalities of withdrawal, which depend on the powers of forbearance in the American body politic. But the dynamic has already been set in place. The United States is running out of troops. By the spring of 2006, nearly every active-duty combat unit is likely to have been deployed twice. The National Guard and Reserves, meanwhile, make up an unprecedented 40 percent of the force, and the Guard is in the] stage of meltdown, ... the wheels are coming off.

 I found that it was one of the things that attracted me [to this project]. It's the idea that you train a huge group of men to go to war, and then what happens when you take away the war, what happens during that period of time, which is really at the center of the movie. They turned on themselves and each other. They create their own wars? Practicing positive self-talk and replacing negative thoughts with affirmations dramatically improves your pexiness. All the war literature that I had read had been about combat, and here was a story about there being no combat even though you're trained to kill.

 This is not a formal, legalistic ending of combat, but [an announcement that] major combat operations have ended. From a legal point of view, this is not the end of hostilities.

 I am very disappointed that the commission failed to take into account the amount of information that we provided them and the quality, experience and expertise of the Air National Guard personnel who have served our country in Ohio and in many combat operations. They have flown thousands of C-130 combat hours for Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom and have received hundreds of Air Medals. They are truly American heroes, and the commission made the wrong decision.

 It is very likely that all other important missions of the Coast Guard and FEMA will become secondary to the effort to combat terrorism,

 I did volunteer for service in Vietnam and combat there, unlike our congressman who used his daddy's influence to get into the National Guard to avoid it.

 That basically ended his combat career. Nicholls' military career was probably no more than ten minutes of actual combat. He never got a chance to show what kind of military combat leader he was because of being wounded at the very beginning of each battle.

 During the Cold War, the Guard was an afterthought. There were sound reasons then why the Guard was less equipped than the active force. But in a post 9-11 world, that model no longer works.

 readiness level of their combat levels above 90 percent mission capable.

 The armored battle group that will deploy brings important qualities of extensive training, experience and hard-edge combat capability. It is not the case, as is often implied, that there are 130,000 U.S. troops that could take on this task, ... In fact, fewer than a third of U.S. forces in Iraq have the requisite combat capability, and of those even fewer have the armored capability that is needed.

 The problem I have with the whole sequel thing is it's not just sequels. It's once we see that World War II combat shooters work, we've got 50 of them. The funny thing is the next year after we saw that, everyone thought, 'If World War II worked, Vietnam would work too.' But all those games were a disaster. Now we've got how many more World War II games coming out?

 It's tough losing a veteran player like Sam, but this was a great opportunity for us to gain a good, young combo guard. Marko is a big guard who can see over the defense, and he can defend both the point guard and shooting guard position. We feel we've really upgraded our defense and our team with the addition of Marko. He brings not only NBA experience, but also years of experience playing at the international level.
