National Guard update

According to today's USAtoday (sorry, no link-- I was reading the print version which was left outside my hotel door) the Army now says the numbers it gave the paper for National Guard vs. regular Army soldiers was inaccurate. The Army is also, suspiciously, unable to provide any corrected numbers. Stay tuned...

Update: the Army has released new numbers and the rate of National Guard deaths is slightly lower than in the regular Army. It is still far higher than National Guard deaths in past wars. We've exceded the number of National Guard deaths in Vietnam already (and Vietnam lasted 12 years).
