"They're now part of the operating force of the United States Army." Acting Army secretary Pete Geren agreed. "They have carried a heavy burden in the war," he said. "A third of our soldiers that are deployed have come from the Guard and Reserve and we're going to continue to look to them as part of the frontline force...

Why hasn't some private-equity billionaire taken this up as a cause, the way Bill Gates' father has taken up preserving the estate tax? What about Pete Peterson--a co-founder of Blackstone and longtime Cassandra about the national debt...
