If you had stopped here...good contribution to the OP's request. I totally agree. (I have a lot of friends in the Guard.)
But you had to go here:
On the other hand, if you are a toolbag and think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread, then you should fly lawn darts in the active duty.
One would think with 20+ years in the Guard, you'd have more of a clue. How many fighter guys have you ever heard running around saying, "On the other hand, if you are a toolbag and think you are the greatest thing since sliced bread, then you should fly heavies in the guard." Now tell me who's the toolbag. The kid isn't even interested in a fighter job, so why bring it up in the first place? I know...just another shot at starting another fighter vs heavy thread. Just another man's observation. I wish I hadn't posted #12. I'm almost ashamed to admit I bit.
