This Stryker fighting vehicle was recently on display in Hood River as a recruitment tool for the local national guard.
As a city dweller, I rarely see militarization (beyond the
police).
This unit trains in The Dalles, a town about 20 miles east
of Hood River.
I chatted with one of the officers who felt grateful the
guard had mostly paid for his college. I just wish US involvement in foreign
wars wasn’t such a tale of woe.
