The Marine that called into Rush was dead on. You'd never see a Marine or anyone in the real Army go out of the chain of command like that. The National Guard should pay for their bitching. They have the NERVE to complain when the Marines and ARMY are doing the heavy lifting with any public complaints?

So, what you're saying is that the Army National Guard are not American soldiers, and are not doing the same mission?

As an Active Duty Air Force SNCO I would never say that about my National Guard brethren. Most folks in the military don't jump the chain and complain like that, unless leadership asks for it. I believe that the soldier was coached by the reporter. I also believe that units made make field modifications first and then complain. By broadcasting this the press made are troops more vulnerable to attacks by terrorist who now believe we are week.

My kudos to the reporter for being the newest traitor to the American military (That's including the Guard and Reservists).
