| "Now that I'm a civilian, I'm here to speak out that I think the current use of the National Guard is wrong.... They are designed to protect us here in the United States of America and in our homeland - not to be occupying nations halfway around the world. And that is not the role of the National Guard. And in many cases, many of these men are doing things they were never trained to do, which is dangerous for them and dangerous for the war itself."
---Jesse Ventura, former Navy SEAL and, as Governor, head of the Minnesota National Guard |
My thoughts exactly, ever since the first NG unit was deployed to Iraq.
