It's possible that nothing demonstrates the sorry state of our military than this:
A Naval Academy tradition that lasted 155 years has come to an end: The Marine Corps sentries who guarded the gates and the crypt of Revolutionary War Capt. John Paul Jones have been withdrawn and sent to war.
The four dozen Marines were released from their security duties in a ceremony on Friday and are being replaced by Navy enlisted personnel.
[...]
The sentries will bolster U.S. forces stretched thin by deployments to Iraq and Afghanistan.
You're doin' a heckuva job, Rummy!
