Idiots. Did they think they'd be able to choose the "Mess Cook" line when signing up something? Puhleeeeeez.

Umm, no. Read the article, notice how they expected to serve in times of Natural Disaster and other Domestic crisis. It is my understanding that the National Guard was intended as a Domestic force, not a foreign one(could be wrong about that, but it seems that those in it think that way).

doesnt matter what they expected, when they signed up (unless they could not read) they knew damm well what they were getting into potentially. I'm not going to feel sorry for them just because they thought they could skate through it easy like previous generations might have.

Did you get down to the first two paragraphs of the article? The "don't worry" part specifically.
Do you support the idea of misleading or false advertising?

do you believe every word a scared and worried mom says when she is trying to draw attention to her cause? do you believe that not reading the terms and conditions of signing up for a hostile job means you should not have to perform the job when called upon?

The Army National Guard in Vietnam
National Guard in Thailand - 1970
National Guard Rotations to Germany - 1967-1977
The Army National Guard in Desert Storm - 1991
Maryland ARNG in Sinai (1994)
There ain't no pity in the city. Its hard but fair.

Elements of the Maryland National Guard were on Omaha Beach. The Guard and Reserves have a much more integrated role in today's military, as the article stated.
I feel bad for Mom, but those are the breaks, lady, and I wouldn't trust a recruiter to tell my mom the truth anymore than I would trust that weaselly SOB salesman at my last job.
Also very true, and if he chooses not to reenlist, he will have done his duty, which is more than many of us can say, myself included.Oh, and I think the President had a constitutional right to deploy the reserves overseas, just as this reservist has every right to not reenlist.
Why wasn't Texas Air Nationa Guard in Viet-Nam?
