Yes, the NG is basically a defacto draft pool. Once upon a time Congress
used to be involved in matters of war, but now every time it comes up
they bow out of the discussion until AFTER the deployments are made.
Guess they are waiting to see which way the wind blows before making a
position for their reelection campaign.
>Thanks for taking the time.
Not a problem.
