WEB-EXCLUSIVE COMMENTARY

Updated: 7:40 p.m. ET Sept. 7, 2004
Sept. 7 - The parking lot in front of the Bi-Lo Supermarket at
Pawley's Island, South Carolina, is full of cars with decals of Old
Glory or twisted ribbons stuck to their sides. The yellow-ribbon
decals say "SUPPORT OUR TROOPS." Those in red-white-and-blue say
"FREEDOM ISN'T FREE." Just inside the store there's a big bulletin
board with clips from local newspapers about the men from the South
Carolina National Guard who shipped out for Iraq this summer. They've
always trained as an artillery battalion, but their new assignment
will be as military police—cops on the beat on the meanest streets in
the world. Six of the Pawleys contingent are related. All are male.
Most are black.
