So what? All Marines go through the same training. Being a reservist does not mean you are less physically fit or competent than an active duty Marine.
You're dead wrong. The Reserves should be for veterans only. During Vietnam, the Generals rushed us Active-Duty Marines over there without adequate training. Many casualties and miseries resulted from that quick fix. The Marines who had joined before the war were far more impressive than we half-year, half-prepared throwaway-cannon-fodder grunts were.
I disagree, the weekend warriors tend to be out of shape compared to their active counterparts. Initial training could be the same, however, the following commitment takes self discipline, especially when no one is there to hold you accountable.

We Need to Start Training Now for the Revolution

Not the Marines. You are mistaken.
