100's of Air Force reservists missing or unaccounted for?
Wolf just said this; anyone know what he's talking about? Could they be AWOL?

1. Not unless they were on active duty
or missed their active time.

2. I'm assuming they were assigned to Katrina, so that
would mean they were called in, no? I'm confused and am trying to catch the story.

4. Can you explain the context in which Wolf brought this up?
I know that the troops who have been posted to Iraq are not too happy.

And I can imagine that maybe they would decide to split once they are back in this country.

In fact, CNN had a memorial page to everyone who died in just Iraq,
their name, their date of death, their home town, their military rank, AND HOW THEY DIED.

Seemed to me like there were an awful lot of military-trained personnel who somehow managed to kill themselves while cleaning their guns.

6. Careful now ...

remember the old marching yell:

Drill Instructor: (In cadence) This is my rifle! This is my gun! Recruits: This is for fighting! This is for fun!

I don't think there have been lots of fatalities from people cleaning their 'guns'.

Of course, I don't know what they do these days with the high levels of female personnel.

8. Wolf mentioned 100's of reservists missing and/or
unaccounted for, but I didn't catch where, if he even elaborated. I don't know; he hasn't brought it up since.
