Weird. A local Orlando, Florida, newspaper writes about troops being deployed for “federal active duty” in Washington DC like they are heading into the IED-laced streets of Iraq :

    The troops will be deployed for a year.

    “It’s going to be all right It’s OK if he helps people and everything, and it’s his job. He’s got to do it. He just got to do it,” Jessica Ward said, whose father is being deployed.

    Jessica speaks for many when she talks about her father’s deployment.

    Michael Ward and company are leaving for a year, and that weighs heavy on families.

    They are ordered by the president to the nation’s capital, where they will operate high-tech weapons systems against any potential air threat.

    Yolanda McCormack is relieved husband Charles isn’t headed to Iraq, but there is always a risk.

There is? Compared to Iraq today?

Considering how bitter and distraught more and more American soldiers feel about their very long 15 months of hell-time in Iraq, scoring a gig manning “high tech weapons systems” in Washington DC sounds like a bit of a vacation.

Unless Washington DC is attacked.

But is that even close to being likely in the next year? Short of an Independence Day style extraterrestrial invasion?

Are they expecting Chinese or Russian missiles to come raining down sometime soon?

Or another plane-as-bomb attack, like on September 11, 2001?
