Yes, we all "volunteered" but I've seen far too many people choose to go to war over being with their family. Before you use the whole "patriotic" reasoning-don't try that with me. I was in the military. I've seen too many people with crap jobs and little civilian skills try and say they were being "patriotic" so they raised their hand and volunteered when their commander asked who would WANT to go. Many of those people did it because they needed the money or they wanted that combat patch.
You really need to get over yourself and have respect for ALL the branches of the service (to include guard and reserve). My boyfriend was active duty and I respect the active duty force, but don't come on here and act superior because you chose to go active duty. I'm curious, where did you attend college after going active duty?

Did you even read my post? Cause if you had... you would have seen that I am currently in the Guard. SO, I have seen how things on both sides of the fence work. The Guard and Reserve cannot even remotely compare to Active. They just cant, based on the obvious fact, you can do a heck of alot more in a one month on Active duty than you can on Guard.
Secondly, what unit do you work in that you can "volunteer" to deploy? I only volunteered once and thats when I signed my enlstment papers. Whenever my unit (82nd Airborne) got called to go overseas we went. So, i never had to "outright volunteered for some of that "hard work" overseas"... I got the call to go, and went without question.
Lastly, i have respect for every branch of service and component. Yet, I can honestly say having been Active, and currently being in the Guard (for 2 years now)... You really cant compare the two. And thats not being pompous.. thats telling it how it is.
