I can dream, but with this hitting the wires and major news outlets some folks will need new employment. I hope.

A second soldier in the Wisconsin National Guard has been suspended from some duties as part of the fallout over a photo posted online showing soldiers goofing off around a flag-draped casket.
Sgt. Luis Jimenez remains a full-time guardsman based in Madison, but Guard spokesman Maj. Paul Rickert said Jimenez has been relieved of his funeral honors duties for going on social media to defend the photo.
Ironic, I don't think he saw the first photo which caused all the fuss. The second photo would have stayed hidden had he not chimed in.Well at least they got Luis too.

The internet is not your friend.
Not unless people stop dying.I wonder if this will affect Guard funding now, with all the cuts being made...

You don't need to worry about it, you need to be concerned with getting through all your training before funding really hits you.
I'm not too worried about it as I enlisted in the Army and ship out in a few weeks, but it's just another reason for the Feds to cut funding to the guard by implying if they can't recruit good people. Not saying that the entirety is that way, not at all, but heavy cuts are being made and this is a critical point of our national defense.

If the Guard returns to 90's spending levels then you can't blame the Guard when it returns to 90's readiness....and the Guard was not ready for a war when 9/11 hit. Not even close.
Another reason to put combat arms into the Reserves. What Governator WOULDN'T want a SF company at his disposal?

Does the Guard need to be eady at a moments notice?If the Guard returns to 90's spending levels then you can't blame the Guard when it returns to 90's readiness....and the Guard was not ready for a war when 9/11 hit. Not even close.

Using them as Strategic Reserve means having 90 days to do a work up.
Guard guys/gals also need to aknowldge that their leadership failed them when OIF/OEF were in full effect.
