Hate to tell you this but that has been SOP since there was an Army. You
leave the heavy stuff in theater since it is much more difficult to
transport the same equipment in/out with every unit. Makes no sense to
transport an Abrams or a field gun around when it is needed by the folks
who are using it daily. As for the Guard not having gear you can than
Slick and his friends for gutting the military for 8 years. GWB has been
pushing increased money for the troops and gear but the left keeps
crying that they need to spend it on their pork projects instead.

The theory is that it will be used by troops remaining but it leaves
the
guard with nothing to train on when they get home. Another indication
that
the Shrub and his neocon cronies have the foresight of an ant.

"We're getting ready for tsunamis. We're getting ready for

We're
getting ready for forest fires. Cut all that back and I think you're
left
with a
really troublesome situation."
-- Washington state Gov. Chris Gregoire, one of several governors
who
recently
asked President Bush not make reductions in National Guard forces
and to
return
guard equipment that has been left in Iraq.

The government has given whole new meaning to the old phrase "You
can't
take it
with you." A Government Accountability Office report says that in
the past
three
years, National Guard troops have been obliged to leave 64,000
pieces of
equipment, worth $1.2 billion, in Iraq.
