Now see, this is just ridiculous. Here we go again with the gimmie gimmie. Since everyone’s budget is slashed, active duty is yanking equipment out from under reserve units and Guard detachments. Here’s what’s going on: Army leaders are trying to get the National Guard to draft 192 Apache strike helicopters into active duty units.

Well, if it were me, the first thing I would do is trick my car out. Seriously. I’m driving a Honda Civic over here, and it’s all factory. A Civic can be a badass ride if you do it up right.
