    I know we're the "melting pot" and all such, but I can't get over how the victims and the suspects's names really didn't seem like names of people I'd expect from Minnesota.

    Well, they were probably moved around by the National Guard.

    Nah, that's not how the Guard works.

    If you are serious, let me know. There is a $2,000 bonus when recommending a person to join and I'll split it with you!

    The requirements are the same for the most part. If you got weight or physical ability issues, then they probably will pass. We've been kicking people out of the Guard for overweight issues and not passing their annual physical fitness testing. I'm not a recuiter, so I don't know specifically. You would have to speak to a Guard recruiter for specific information.

    What I was referring to with Stuart is, the Guard has a program in which a Guard member recommends or "recruits" a person into the Guard. Once the "recruitee" passes their basic and advanced training, the "recruiter" would earn $2,000. It's called the GRAP program.

    There were several church groups in Minnesota that sponsored Hmong refugees after the end of the war. That brought a lot of Hmong into Minnesota initially, and later immigrants headed there since there was already a large Hmong community.

    They're Hmong. Common enough in that segment of the country.

    Actually, still being hunted down for helping the US in SE Asia.
