As I have said before, if you
want to go to war, then go to war and don't hand us this reserve or National Guard stuff. So in Art Kramer's (scarry) world, there are no National Guardsmen or Reservists because no one would join such dishonerable organizations. Interestingly enough, in Art Kramer's world social security and medicare are funded four times what they are now as are several hundred other welfare programs. Seems money is abundant in Art Kramer's world, since without a National Guard or Reserves, active duty strength would need to be increased at least 1 for every 4 guardsmen or reservists. You're talking about a lot of money there. BUFDRVR "Stay on the bomb run boys, I'm gonna get those bomb doors open if it harelips everyone on Bear Creek" |

![]() "ArtKramr" wrote in message ... snip Thanks for understanding.. I don't get much around here. But at my age I don't give a damn. I'll say what I like whenever I like.When I was a kid I volunteered for the Army Air Corps. Me and a million other guys. I was called up the day I was 18 and rushed ino training as the war raged. My greatest fear was that the war would end before I got there and I would miss the entire thing. I had nothing to worry about. It seemed as though 15 minutes after I was called up I was 10,000 feet over Germany, which is exaclty where I wanted to be. I didn't join the guard. I didn't join the reserves. Idiot. There was NO Guard for you to join--it had already been mobilized (in toto) before you finished high school, and depending upon the date in question, Guardsmen were already fighting and dying. The big mobilization in 1940 ring a bell? I wanted to go to war so I joined the Army Air Corp. Back then the reserve and the guard were pathetic jokes and laughing stocks for all of us. Really? Was the 116th Infantry a "pathetic joke" at Normandy? How about the elements of the 32nd ID in the southwest pacific campaigns? "Bloody Buna" ring a bell? As I have said before, if you want to go to war, then go to war and don't hand us this reserve or National Guard stuff. Tell a member of the 101st fighting for his life at Bastogne what a great job the reserve is doing to defend our country sitting in the USA nice and safe while he may not live to see the end of this day. It was bad enouigh that you were completely clueless in regard to the activities of the modern reserve components, but that you were so badly wrong as to the Guard/Reserve during your own war is unbelievable.
