Is it easier now?

"ArtKramr" wrote

I agree with General Powell.

Powell wrote that over 10 years ago. He was talking about a narrow
window of history. The reason you offer the quote today, is that it is
being pushed by the DNC, and the AARP.

Kerry's welfare promise to AARP membership is the reason you invest
in this quote.

Powell is serving the best candidate for our next President. If Kerry is
nominated by the Democrats, then we have a choice between Capitalism
and Communism. A Central Planning Committee, or a free market.

"Liberated" ? As I remember it there was no German resistance
whatever.
All
the
Germans had left and they just walked in without a shot being fired.
Hardly
the
equivalent of landing on Omaha beach was it?. (sheesh)

Yes, I guess your right.

I mean the 41st Infantry had an easy time in New Guinea during 1942/43.

Or that Provisional Tank battalion that ended up on the Bataan
penensula
in 1941 as infantry after they ran out of fuel.

I mean, they were just National Guard troops....
Not real soldiers, right Art ?



At least Bush wasn't hiding in those units right?

No, he was flying a rather unforgiving aircraft.

Or are you saying the USAF had lax standards for pilot training in the
early 70's ?


As Colin Powell said:
"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... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class
discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all
Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."



OK, so we know what the good general said.

I was asking you however.


I agree with General Powell.

Does your hatred for the Guard extend to those from WW2 ?

Is
military life easier now than it was then?

Do you mean compared to when the Oklahoma National Guard (45th
Infantry)
liberated Dachau?

Why not just answer the question instead of trying to hide behind personal
attacks?

I'll let Colin Powell answer for me:

"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... Of the many tragedies of Vietnam, this raw class
discrimination strikes me as the most damaging to the ideal that all
Americans are created equal and owe equal allegiance to their country."

Was Colin Powell talking about the NG personnel in question at Bataan or on
New Guinea (while you were still whining in high school)? Nope. Still can't
bear to face the question, huh?

A little improvement, at least now Art puts it in quotation marks and
attributes it to someone else. Not trying to make it appear to be his original
thought as he did at the start of the go round on the National Guard.

Try answering the question Art!

Art, you were in advertizing, correct? Did you ever have an original thought?

Why is the ANG being put down by so many? They provide a very usefull
reserve function and in many cases are regular force members that have
returned to civilian life. In Canada we call these units the reserves.
They are now being used by the CF on many peace keeping and peace making
missions. Most of our reserves are Army types but there is also an air and
naval element reserves. I think they do a dammed fine job.
