For anyone interested, it seems that the Air National Guard is under the impression that it is a part of the Air Force. I guess the Dim's know better. Here is a link to the Air National Guard website.

"Although the Air National Guard was not established as a separate component of the U.S. Air Force until 1947, National Guard aviators have played significant roles in all of America's wars and most of its major contingencies since the beginning of the 20th Century."
This is probably where the democrats got their 'talking point' from.
