It’s probably not a good idea to give 25,000 weekend warriors a loaded automatic rifle to wander around the nation’s capital. 😂. The force would be reduced by 30% by the 20th from accidental discharges.


You are a good guy but the Nat Guard has been deployed for close to 2 decades putting the smash on terrorists in the GWOT.

Lots and Lots of NG guys have multiple combat tours to schitt hole countries.

Not much of a fan of the "Weekend Warrior" label.

No offense meant and rant off.

Roger that ^^^.

The "weekend warrior" is a term that is almost always used by someone who has never served in the armed forces.
