112. "Knocking The National Guard"
Todays National Guard is not you father's National Guard.... It is common knowledge that the National Guard was a safe, legal way to avoid combat in Viet Nam if you were fortunate enough to get in and fortune was often a function of having the right connections....


Don't believe me... Less than 1% of National Guard saw combat in Viet Nam....
