$400 Billion Can't Buy Much

Apparently not equipment for the Army National Guard. Nearly 90% are rated "not ready" largely due to a lack of billiosn of dollars worth of equipment. With all this war talk the politicians and hawks forgot the role of the Army National Guard is not simply to replace troops in Iraq and Afghanistan. Their duty involves helping Americans in America. So what does this mean? Don't live anywhere near a natural disaster or emergency in the U.S. because our troops can't help you like they should be able to. Just as the victims of Hurricane Katrina.
