1. Damn

I hate this.

2. So Sad

The National Guard soldiers didn't sign up to be deployed full time in a war zone. They don't have the training, and they don't have the experience for this duty. This is the end result.

3. I agree

The National Guard units are serving in a much different way than what they have been trained for. This is a travesty.
