In a recent conversation one of these people conveyed his frustration with the lack of effort being put forth on the spill. ..."we have ships designed for this in the yard.." ..."they're part of the Ready Reserve..."<br /><br />Bing! Right away I saw the problem. There is no one in the Ready Reserve Corps. Why??/<br /><br />The health care bill. The Ready Reserve that was currently active was moved to the Regular Reserve Corp.
