Yeah, it's a great read, and you really get a sense of just how far-flung and thinly stretched the US Military is now.
In fact, I think it's time for Canada to strike! We could make our move now and take over a large part of the US... if we dropped free de-criminalized pot, gay marriage licenses and health care cards from the air, we could probably roll into the "blue" states with little or no resistance, and might even be welcomed as liberators... :)
