Or what about this one regarding military mandates:

Interesting that China allegedly aren't vaxxing their military. Or Russia. Or India.
Retired guardsman here - there are far more guardsmen and women who are so much more than weekend warriors. Your assessment is wrong. Period.
I served on various training days in addition to the drill weekends and annual training. I also retired after 20 years as an active guard and reserve. I collect my DFAS check monthly like the active duty retirees do and I retired at 40 years old. There are so many ways to serve. The point is - I like many others before me served as a national guard member and it damn sure was more than weekend and annual training just to go to school.
Forgiveness not necessary - you are free to your opinion - I am just sorry that the bad apples are who you have interacted with. I have experience with more of the opposite from what you describe.
