The Guard at work 
People, our Army has never been better. The crucible of Iraq has tempered our NCOs and junior officer corps in fire, and they are able to concieve operations and execute quickly, with commendable restraint, even with an ad hoc force pulled together from all over.

This could not have gone well before the Iraq war. But one thing the Army has learned to do well is process large numbers of people quickly, screening for bad guys. We didn't learn this at Fort Benning or Fort Polk.

I would argue that despite the absence of part of the LAARNG in Iraq, the overall quality of the response, and the rapidity with which it was able to be delivered, is perhaps BETTER as a result of the war in Iraq. And our nation benefits indirectly from the leadership and logistics lessons learned by our National Guard officers and NCOs as a result of their widespread deployment to Iraq and Afghanistan.

Kudos to the LAARNG for not going in prematurely. This is one operation where you absolutely needed overwhelming force, and to go in like a bolt of lightning. Good work, brothers and sisters.

By the way, read the whole transcript of the press conference with LTG Blum. He's demonstrated himself to be a mensch of the first order, I believe, and I'm proud to be a a Guardsman during his tenure.

Even if the National Guard Bureau does drive me up the wall sometimes. :)

One of the better results I saw from my fasting experience was that I have more self control over my eating habits. I have always been a binge type of eater. After my fast, I felt like I could restrain myself easier. It is proberbly a mental attribute. I mean I can go without eating for 7 days then I sure can keep myself from eating something I shouldn't.
