Nice slap in the face to the Guard and Reserves.
My late husband was a combat veteran who did service in VietNam, my father career Air Force, my uncle a colonel in the Army Reserves, my step-father served in the Army, my niece is in Tikrit - I don't belittle anyone wearing the uniform, 'serious' or not.
my macho husband when he was active worked in a "lab" Monday thru Friday and had beer parties right after work on Fridays....
I am too familiar with the military to think that every job is a life or death situation....most jobs are just that ......jobs....
His Guard unit was more physically able, more tested, more organized, and competant I think than his previous active military post...
that is why units like his in the Guard would beat active duty units of similar size hands down in competition....
