Actually, I have it on pretty good authority that our present mix of active duty troops and national guard is the result of a deliberate policy change made for that very purpose after appraising the loss of support for the Vietnam war. The problem was an undue concentration of lower income and black soldiers among the draftees, with the middle and upper class whites wangling deferments. (Remember that Howard Dean had such a back problem he had to spend the war years skiing in Vermont.) The determination was made that substantial numbers of the guard should be involved in any future war in order to bring involvement to Main Street. Dave S/V Good Fortune CS27 |
