Vermont demands to get their kids back
The Authorization for the Use of Military Force of October 16th, 2002, having expired, the General Assembly declares that all members of the Vermont National Guard should be promptly and expeditiously withdrawn from Iraq, subject only to the conditions of time and manner specifically required to assure their safety and well-being during removal operations … The General Assembly calls on the Governor of Vermont to take prompt steps as the Commander-in-Chief of the Vermont National Guard to effectuate these purposes.

This may be the single coolest piece of news I have ever read. Wow! Talk about checks and balances in action. Go Vermont!

A fantastic loophole! Can our "War President" (who amazingly, does not have any children that would sign up or are in the Guards already--what a coincidence) be stopped? I'd love to hear about other states and whether this is a successful move.
