why wouldn't he have enlisted in a true military unit?

The Guard and Reserves are 'true military units', pal.

Bush actually did volunteer for Viet Nam but the airframe he was qualified to fly had been phased out of that theater and they didn't allow him to requalify in another aircraft.

I have friend who is in a Guard unit and has been deployed to the ME twice already. I dare you to tell him he isn't in a 'true military unit'.

Exactly. Was talking to a Guardsman who was permanently disabled, his Humvee driver killed, by an IED.
Guess he wasn’t in a ‘true military unit’ either. Spit.
