Stop it already. I already posted links that prove that some N. Guard were there. And they served honorably, bravely, and were in just as much danger as just about everyone else who was there.
It's true that the guard was a way out for some people, but that's the breaks. At least they didn't turn tail and run to Canada, all the while moralizing about this that and the other, while their parents sent them money cause Canada wouldn't accept them if they didn't. While chances of going to Nam were not as good going by "hiding" in the guard, they did have a chance they'd be called. Sometimes a person wants to be right so badly, they refuse to accept things that show them they may be looking at things improperly. Maybe step back and..Reevalute your views on the Guard, I think you're not giving them enough credit. Besides, they really aren't for the foreign service, although they have been used a lot. They're really for domestic problems and help. Somebody has to be NG, and whatever reason got them in, it's water over the dam, now. |
