“Our friends laugh at us because we give each other weapons for gifts, and they think that’s a little odd,” said Karmen, a member of the 2175th Military Police Company, Hannibal, MO “But, people that are close to us know Jason and I couldn’t be better suited for one another.”
Like putting a long-stem rose in the barrel of a 12-gauge. Works for me.

Well, Iraq is not hurting retention or recruitment in the Army National Guard, full-strength for the first time since 1999.

Army National Guard overrun at the border? Well, they retreated, anyhow:
"U.S. Border Patrol officials are investigating the 11 p.m. Wednesday incident and trying to determine who the armed people were and why they approached the post near Sasabe, in the desert corridor between Nogales [Arizona] and Lukeville. Balaban said the troops didn’t know how many people were involved because it was so dark."
What? No night-vision equipment? It would be interesting to know why the guard didn’t stand and fight.
UPDATE Well, it turns out that "very few" of these Arizona guard folks are armed. The ones in Texas and New Mexico are armed, but "very few" in Arizona and California. That is remarkably stupid.
