They don't have to go to the front lines. Our troops will die so the buildings they're hiding in don't get blown up. Nothing to worry about, assholes. Suck it up. Next year, HALF of NJ's National Guard troops...read that HALF- 50%...are going to Iraq or Afghanistan. HALF! Don't know where NJ citizens will do when WE get attacked, but hey...the foreign services guys think they're too good to do their share will be safe. Wow.
