[QUOTE="Stepper, post: 237303, member: 3398"] msscamp, Unfortunately the taxpayers are like you and me. There is not a whole lot we can do about what is done with our tax dollars. Besides alot of times the National Gaurd will take on certain task and turn it into training. When i was in the gaurds we would travel several states away alot of times for our annual two week summer camp training. When we would do this we would move a whole battalion of men and their equipment. And i was in a howtizer unit. One of our guns weighed 31 tons by itself. We would have to have about 30 of them shipped by both rail and barge. That did not include all of the other equipment. duse & half trucks, hemmits, jeeps etc......, the list goes on and on. Then you throw in the expense it cost to ship, feed, cloth, house 1500 men. And provide medical care for them during that two weeks. That really adds up fast. And you know who pays for all of that. All of us chickens that are paying taxes. And wether we will stand for it or not there is not nothing we can do but learn to like it. And that is just one little gaurd unit. And i have no idea how many units in all that we have across the united states but it is a lot. So yes i think it is well with in reason that our government would consider hauling a little hay & water to help the farmers out in a time of need. [/QUOTE]
