Bleg on Vang Murders

I'd like to know a couple of things about this story yet. First, is it true, as I've heard second hand, that this was not the first hunting season that Vang had been kicked off that property? Second, does anyone know why Vang only served 4 months in uniform in the military? Either send me an email at ojibway7rj-at-gmail-dot-com, or put it in the comment section. Thank you.

From the AP:

Military records obtained by The Associated Press show he spent six years in the California National Guard and earned a sharpshooter qualification badge. But his primary role during his time in the Guard, from 1989 to 1995, involved clerical duties.

After his discharge, he spent two more years in the Individual Ready Reserve.

Dov Schwartz, an Army spokesman in Washington, said the sharpshooter qualification was "not an extraordinarily special thing."

Thanks, Drew. They also had that story in the print edition of the Chippewa Herald today, I see.
