#1 They have sleeping guards at high-security facilities?

Not anymore they don't. He's paid for his nap with his life.

#3 They have sleeping guards at high-security facilities?

You better beleive they do! I can't tell you how many times I was disappointed by Jundis (IA Pvt.'s, and by extension, any Iraqui) living ~~down~~ up to the stereotype of the lazy, incompetent and stunningly ignorant Third World slob.

#4 Heh,
I was pretty good at sneaking past the sleeping guards in the computer game Half Life.
NG, your comment about living up to the stereotype of the lazy..., I thought that had changed. To have someone of this ilk be in charge and put so many in danger is crazy.
I say who cares about the "clean yard", keep them in a very small cell.
I'm sure many RB'ers would have a better definition of high security.
On a more serious note, it's one thing to die in battle, quite another to lose your life out of someone else's stupidity. My heart goes out to the guys that lost their lives or were hurt because of this sleeping guard.
