Bush (DODO*) Sends Weapon-less Unit to Iraq; Army Reserves Not Prepared For War Says General

via The American Street


KWTX | Army Sends Weaponless Reserve Unit To Iraq: "About 800 members of the 98th Army Reserve Division from Rochester, New York will begin a year-long mission in Iraq next month.

The unit, which normally trains reserve and active-duty soldiers in the U.S., will find itself training Iraq’s new army.

The 98th is a non-combat unit that doesn't even have its own weapons or vehicles.

"This is a hard war and we, frankly, inside the Army Reserve have been not properly prepared for it,” said Lt. Gen. James Helmly, chief of the U.S. Army Reserve."


Those poor bastards.
