In Vietnam? I didn't think any National Guard units got called up in Vietnam.

No offense, but are you series?

Thousands of Army NG personnel were 'in country'.

Correct, as it turns out, but the total for the 8 years of the war was only 7,000 which meant if you signed up for National Guard Service your chances of going to Vietnam were infinitesimal. I'm not putting Guard service down. Duty it duty and it doesn't matter how you did it.
