“Are you aware that 10% of all soldiers killed in Vietnam were members of Guard or Reserve. I am amazed at veterans that look down their snoots at all who served. Disgusting really”

You’ll have to show me your sources on that...

Here is the link. I will say you deserve gratitude and honor for your service. My unit did not get activated but could have been like others were back then. When Quayle became VP the lefty military hating media began the lie that all reservists and guard are dodgers. Those who served should not repeat that.
