Sorry Kenneth, you're wrong. CNN just had a blurb about that. It turns out that about 100 Guardsmen were killed in Vietnam in the late 60s. Remember, during that period there were several hundred men dying EVERY WEEK in Vietnam. It was totally understood at that time that, as opposed to the truth being that the "chances of going to 'Nam from the Guard were high," the NG was a very sure way to AVOID serving in Vietnam. It's not like that now but it absolutely was then.

RE:

"Mr. Breslin should pull his head out of Hanoi Johns a** long enough to Google, as the saying goes. He will find the Nationl Guard represented among the first to go 'Nam. But the 'truth' is an unknown commodity among the self proclaimed elitists of the moronic left. I would wager the chances of going to 'Nam from the Guard were high, as the Guardsmen were already trained in their specialty, and with those drafted did a helluva job until the Kerry's and Hanoi Jane took over."

PS, the picture showing Kerry and Hanoi Jane together with a microphone at a podium is now proven to have been a fake. Yes, a fake using digital technology. Did you fall for it?
