NYCO's diary entry,
below, outlines the call up of more National Guard and Reserve troops for Iraq, noting that this means less armor and more Humvees on the ground.
In fact, the story NYCO cites includes a mention of a shortage of military vehicles in Iraq.
To that end, I make the following proposal:
Everyone in the U.S. who has purchased a Hummer should be required to take their vehicle to Iraq for a six-month stint... with added armor, of course.
That way, our urban warriors can get a taste of real action!
(NOTE: My apologies in advance to those here who have invetsed their hard-earned cash in a Hummer. Enjoy Iraq!)
