This article has to be one of those things that does not suprise anyone, given the state of incompetence coming from the Bush Administration. Amazing!! A Reservist, on his way back home from an 8 month tour of duty in Iraq, was held over when he tried to board a plane in Minneapolis. Airport officials told him that he was on the terrorist watch list. The soldier was in uniform.
Staff Sgt. Daniel Brown, who was in uniform and returning from
the war Tuesday with 26 other Marine military police reservists, was delayed
briefly in Los Angeles until the issue was cleared up.
The other reservists arrived at Minneapolis-St. Paul

"We don't leave anybody behind," 1st Sgt. Drew Benson
said. "We start together, and we finish together."
Brown, 32, arrived more than an hour later. He had also
had airport trouble when he was trying to go to Iraq — and he missed his plane
then as well."A guy goes over and serves his country fighting for eight or
nine months, and then we come home and put up with this?" he asked. More>>
