Old time comedian George Gobel told a story of being in the Oklahoma National Guard. When asked about the effectiveness his service, he said, "Well, you never saw any Japanese planes get past Tulsa, did you?"

Seriously though, National Guard and Reserve units have fought and men have died in every major war and conflict since WWI. Many of the men and women who went to Iraq are or were Guardsmen. Their blood is spilled on foreign soil. They must not be shortchanged in order to achieve political endgames.

Semper Fi!

I have a friend at work who is in the national Guard, going on over 20 years now! Just left for his duty station to go back over to Iraq, this is his second time! He got back in July from being over there.
