The US lost 21 Marines in two days in Iraq this month (left). But the Guard and Reserve have had an even worse month.More "Citizen Soldiers" died in Iraq in the first 10 days of August than in any full month of the Iraq War.
The Guard and Reserve lost 32 troops.
Michael O'Hanlon -- a military analyst at the Brookings Institution -- says reservists show excellent performance in Iraq. But he warns they may not be getting enough training before being dropped into a war zone. (USAToday)

God Bless America, God Save The Republic
