You are funny...I called DQ and GwB boy scouts..you
know that.
So get your socks out of the mud and wash
them.
You denigrate all brave warriors everywhere with
the crap you just wrote.
You defend the cowards... allI can say you must be
one of them.

Dan, how Dare you call the NG Boy Scouts!
It's SOBs like yourself (who has probably never pointed an M1 at a
Chink & pulled the trigger or had the pleasant task of sweating out a
mortar/artillery barrage or one of the many facets of Combat) that DO NOT KNOW
a thing about the Nat'l Guard and are Totally un-qualified to judge
same.
You call W and Q "Silver Spoons" who hid in
the NG. Ever fly a Jet fighter? W did and proudly served his time
and would have had to go if his unit was Activated. Ever hear of ANY
Fighter Pilot who refused to fight? You suggest you were in VN but are
you sure you weren't in Canada for the war's duration? Most cowards took
a Northern vacation for a few years to avoid going to war. How were
things in Toronto back then?
As for Ted Williams, he will Always be an
American hero!
To enlighten you, most Air National Guard units
were formed after WW2 by using Re-Treads (by order and/or enlistment) as a
Nucleous on which to build . Same for the Army. Also, when the NG units
were called into Active Duty during the KW they usually received a surge of
enlistees.... vets, draft-eligibles, students, affluents, influentials,
professionals, etc., etc., What was your niche in life at that
point?
Since you dinegrate the Country's National
Guardsmen as "Boy Scouts" please read up on your history to find out
what they have done for the Red, White, & Blue. If that doesn't
satisfy you let me know and I'll furnish you a list of survivors and families
from my NG unit who were KIA or POW . Then you can tell them their son,
husband, brother, uncle, etc. that you think he was a Boy Scout and not worthy
of serving his country. I'm sure the answers would be very
interesting.
Until then, keep your cowardly thoughts to
yoursef. No, I can't say that as I honor the First Ammendment and want
everyone to hear you and make their own judgements of you. I apologize
for going off the deep end but Hoss, Your're Walking On The Fighting Side of
Me with your unfounded, untrue statements which cannot be
substantiated.

IT was Draft Dodging by HOW they got put in the
National Guard
Ted Williams served in WW2, then joined
National Guard. Then fought in
Korea.
Ted Williams FOUGHT.. the pretty boys kepted
thier pretty faces.
There is NO Comparison to the sacrifice Mr. Ted
Williams did
and what GwB and Quayle got away
with.
One of the many
fradulent things that went on during the Vietnam CONFLICT
The two silver spoons were politically
appointed to the NG.
Everyone knew that in 1968 and know about it
now.
This was a big angry rage withthe American
public back then.
Yet, they were not the only congressmen sons
who were picked for the Boy Scouts
BY putting Ted Williams and
comparing those two "wet ones" is damn shameful.
You have defined what a man is and what boys
are. Gwb and DQ are BOYS..

When people denigrate the National Guard service of Bush
or Quayle I always
told them to tell Ted Williams that National Guard
service was draft
dodging.

A Very Long Weekend: The Army National Guard

National
Guard deployment highest since Korea
Audrey Hudson
THE WASHINGTON
TIMES
Published April 2, 2003
The
National Guard was once thought of as weekend
warriors, but is now
seeing its largest deployment
since the Korean War with nearly
one-quarter of its
troops serving
overseas.
In addition to new deployments to
Iraq, nearly
100,000 Guard members are serving in
Afghanistan,
Bosnia-Herzegovina, Kosovo, the Sinai Peninsula
and
Panama.
"They're scattered all over
the place," said John
Goheen, spokesman for the National Guard
Association
of the United States. "They are not sleeping at
home
any more. They have left their jobs and their families
to go
around the world on active duty."
That
leaves more than 300,000 to guard the home
front, and 40,000 have
already been alerted that they
may soon mobilize, but most states
have plenty of
forces available for homeland security, Mr.
Goheen
said.
Though the war against
terrorism has caused
relatively few casualties in total, the two
Guardsmen
who have died in it were killed under
high-profile
circumstances.
Maj. Gregory
Stone, 40, of Boise, Idaho, was the
first casualty of the National
Guard and died on March
22. He was killed, reportedly by an American
Muslim
soldier who is said to have thrown a grenade into his
tent
at Camp Pennsylvania, Kuwait. Maj. Stone was
assigned to the 124th
Air Support Operations Squadron
and was serving as an air-liaison
officer with ground
commanders.
On
Saturday, 24-year-old Staff Sgt. Jacob L.
Frazier of St. Charles,
Ill., who was assigned to the
169th Air Support Operations Squadron,
was killed in
an ambush in Afghanistan.
As many as 1 million Guard members and reservists
can now be called
to serve two years under an order
President Bush signed just days
after the September 11
terrorist attacks. However, Mr. Goheen said
the
Defense Department wants to avoid long periods of
service
overseas.
As of March 26, according to the
Pentagon, nearly
217,000 Guard members and reservists have
been
activated to serve at home and abroad: more than
150,000 Army
National Guard and Army Reserve members,
33,000 Air National Guard
and Air Force Reserve
members, nearly 10,000 naval reservists, 20,000
Marine
Corps reservists and 4,000 Coast Guard
reservists.
A Defense Department spokesman
said deployment is
in a "fluid process" and could not give the
total
number of Guard members and reservists
deployed
overseas.
In addition to
overseas duties, 4,000 of New
York's 17,000 Guard members and 7,000
militia are
helping to guard bridges, tunnels, train
stations,
subways, international airports,
nuclear-power
facilities and the Canadian border, spokesman
Scott
Sandman said.
In California, the
National Guard is on its
second rotation since the terrorist attacks
guarding
such high-profile landmarks as the Golden Gate Bridge
and
international airports, Capt. Denise Varner
said.
"Their attitudes are still so
wonderful, they are
so patriotic and believe [in] what they are doing
and
not blinking an eye," Capt. Varner
said.
When Homeland Security Secretary Tom
Ridge raised
the terrorist alert from elevated (yellow) to
high
(orange) on March 17, he urged governors to call in
the Guard
for extra protection.
Ordinarily, governors
call up the Guard for their
states to handle disasters or
emergencies, and Mr.
Ridge said he wishes to respect that
custom.
At least 13 governors have declined
to call up
their state's Guard units.
Democratic Washington Gov. Gary Locke has been
critical of the
administration for not giving his
state nearly a billion dollars he
says is needed to
fund homeland-security measures, but said funding
is
not the reason he declined to deploy troops for
added
protection.
"I made it very clear
we will spend the money and
whatever is needed to take care of
security needs here
at home," Mr. Locke said
yesterday.
"I'm not reluctant to
deploy and cover the costs
of everything on a case by case basis, but
given the
classified information from the Homeland
Security
Department and other federal agencies ... there were
no
specific targets of people, places or installations
in
Washington."
