"Good grief don't these idiots realize that the ANG is a part of the USAF?"
This appears to be what they think is their smoking gun. I don't know if one is considered to have served in the AF if they were in the Guard. At this point my sense is that these pointless nit pick attacks have become both exhausting and annoying and will be an ever greater turnoff to the general public. Have these people not heard the admonition about what to do when you have dug yourself a hole?
It depends on the title he served under. If he served under title 10 for the ANG then yes he was USAF, if he served under title 32 then no he was not USAF, because the state command still had control over him.
