If you actually served in OIF/OEF I think you'd have to revise your statment. I came away with a much better impression of Guard and Reservists and a much worse impression of one particular service who has a great PR machine.

I did. I am now watching the reserve units return and disintegrate. "I think you'd have to revise your statment."

No, I wouldn't. Using the current hostilities as a benchmark for future wars is a mistake. Look up the performance of the 45th Infantry Division in Korea. We don't need a repeat performance if and when a war that measures casualties in thousands per month begins.
