Sorry for the rant, but having been there and done that, we get right touchy about the Guard being called cowards and draft dodgers.

None of use wanted to go, fer goshshakes.

And sitting in SEATAC airport, waiting for the flight back home, one side of the aisle in uniform and the other with long hair, neither side talking to each other even though they're all the same age, each side knowing that with a little twist of fate the sides could be switched....

Actually, I'd much rather have been at Woodstock.

And the Guard and Reserves are often called up today, and they die just as they did in the '60s.

Sorry about the rant, but it's a nerve. And yeah, I agree with the Quagmire....
