"I am angry that so many of the sons of the powerful and well-placed
managed to
wangle slots in the Army Reserve and National Guard units." -- Colin
Powell, My
American Journey, 1995

Colin Powell quoted regarding the Guard after ODS:

"Then Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff General Colin Powell stated
shortly after the war that it "...could have not been fought without the
Guard".
