September 24, 200422 yr http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6083450/ WASHINGTON - The Army National Guard will fall 5,000 soldiers short of its recruiting goal this year, in part because fewer in the active-duty force are switching to part-time service, knowing how frequently Guard units are being dispatched to war zones, the Guard?s top general said Thursday. Count me in the not surprised category. What happens when we really need troops and have no access to them through current means? Say if Iraq careens more out of control than it already has?
