National Guard doesn't notice woman being stabbed right across the street in D.C.

At 3 pm Wed., a woman was stabbed just off a busy intersection on H Street, NE. National Guard members were dining al fresco at a taqueria DIRECTLY across the street, yet the suspect got away. "So safe," a local texted us.

... them one day short of benefits activation, and then reactivating them a day later. Don't blame the troops, blame il Douche who is interfering with the DC police.

That's not the issue The issue is that they are there.
They could resign if they wanted to but they don't because they get paid to be there.

Like I said I don't have any respect for that shit at all and no pity either.

These people have partial housing allowance, no health care, and their paycheck, being paid as active duty military, lags far behind their civilian paychecks.

Phil Ochs was an outstanding song writer and performer with very sharp insight and wit.
