Here is one retired NG member who is OUTRAGED! HOW DARE they say these things about the NG! SHAME on them!
God Bless you and your service. I have wondered many, many times how anyone who served in the Guard felt when Kerry implied somehow Bush did not have a "real" military background.
The message (nuanced, of course) was cowards went to the Guard because they were afraid to go to Viet Nam. "Second class warriors"
I'm sure your outrage is shared by the majority of your fellow Guardsmen. But thank you for expressing it------I needed to hear that.
