A nation in decline.

Reagan replaced our ANG F-4s with F-16s. When needed for Desert Storm, the Air Guard was ready and deployed. Sorties could not tell by frag order or effect which aircraft (or troops) were regular, Guard, or reserves.

Guess we want to go back to being second rate.

Don’t go fishing on Monday - if your boat starts to sink, you’re SOL.

At least the Obama family, the clinger-on mother in law, and some niece got to go on a $100 million vacation. Money doesn’t seem to be a problem for THEM.

I noticed a bill board for the National Guard Yesterday. The appeal was that you would meet new friends if you joined. How times have changed. Almost as bad as army of one.
