Letting Our Guard Down in the War on Terror

A report from the General Accountability Office says the US may run out of Guard and Reserve troops for the War on Terror and the War in Iraq. The law limits the deployments of Guard and Reserve troops. But the US reliance on them (40% of the troops in Iraq) are bumping up against those limits. It could require a change in the law which means longer and more frequent deployments for the Guard and Reserve. (AFP)
