Hearing of the terrible losses suffered by Ohio and Georgia reserve units in Iraq, the question arises in my mind whether the Texas Guard and reserve units are pulling their weight there. Is it possible they are being sheltered, and wouldn’t that be something? Would you put it past Bush?
An item in the Harper’s index some time ago suggested that this is the case, but I do not know how to go about getting updated data. We really ought to check this out, because favoritism to Texas would be truly explosive at this point.
