Reserve Reliance

When some Pennsylvania Army National Guardsmen showed up for deployment to Iraq, the brass realized 207 of them couldn't go. It was because of legal technicalities limiting the amount of time reservists and guardsmen can serve overseas. That's creating logistical headaches for the Pentagon -- running short on regular troops and forced to rely more and more on the reserves. (Philadelphil Inquirer)
