Whats in the healthcare bill is just now starting to be revealed. A government take over of student loans came to light and now a Ready Reserve Corps!
Whenever I have questions on anything military-wise I turn to Wayne and Vince. Good friends who served during the Nam era. They are frequently on Capitol Hill stumping for vet rights. I asked Vince and Wayne to help decipher the below provision.
PLEASE READ IT.
Get ready folks something awful scary is going on. Could these troops be used to squelch the Tea Party movement????
When Vince and Wayne report back in will let you know asap their finding.
