"Right now…

...we don't have the forces we need, we don't have them trained, we don't have the equipment."

Arnold Punaro, Chairman of the Commission on the National Guard and Reserves

Less than 12% of Guard and Reserve units are mission ready. That's shameful, and dangerous.

Republicans did that. Republican politicians pursuing Republican policy goals. A Republican President with a Republican Congress. They've practically disarmed America.

And still the shameless bastards talk about national defense and security. Jeebus.
