Fun times:

The National Guard, used to maintain order during natural disasters and civil disturbances and the sole vehicle available under U.S. law to enforce a declaration of martial law, has previously been controlled by state governors. They have now been stripped of that control. Thanks to the JWDAA, Bush or Rumsfeld can now deploy National Guardsmen in American cities without obtaining permission from state governors.

They should get Hugo Boss to redesign the uniforms. Lend some class to the proceedings.

If you bring up Hugo Boss on the Wikipedia, then click on "Wehrmacht" a little down the page, it will take you to another page with a photograph with the caption:

"Wehrmacht troops of the Heer (military land forces) marching at a military parade in honour of the 50th birthday of Adolf Hitler, on April 20th, 1939."

With all that hardware those guys are packing, I'd have thought that they were just coming back from a garage sale!

Looks pretty crazy - a slightly lower-tech version of a Soviet May Day parade.

Also, I got your emails re: the Eastern Front propaganda piece - I just haven't been able to reply due to a technical problem I still need to resolve. Interesting stuff! :D
