You must be reading the NY & LA Times and watching seeBS. Most of our Guard is better equipped NOW than 4 years ago, and several Executive orders were signed along with a couple of Bills to raise the pay and services of those deployed. The Guard Units were drawn from State Units of the National Guard. Now different States had their own packages, however this is being addressed. Nobody is using Korean War surplus. Remember the klinton years were full of military cutbacks. These cutbacks created the need to deploy the Guard units in response to our needs post 9/11. I remember when the Wild Weasel Sq from my base which were sent to nam (which was an Air National Guard unit) finally got F-4's to replace the F-105's during Nam, shortly before our pull out. Kerry was part of the problem. He isn't fit to fix it. 3 bandaids just ain't gonna do it. He didn't want to fund our troops, remember? They do. Stuntman
