The nation's largest part-time military force is suffering personnel strains from extended call-ups of troops.

Pentagon and National Guard figures show that the 350,000-member Army National Guard is having increasing difficulty recruiting soldiers. It also continues to lag behind the other services in the quality of enlistees as measured by military aptitude tests.

If you love your children, hide them.

Back in my heyday, they used to hide the women and large barnyard animals whenever I came into town.
