re: Former Active Duty Military Disdain for NG or Reservists

The National Guard is structured like the active component, in units (brigades, battalions, companies). Reserves seem to focus more individual augmentation, like ones and two's you might need to round out your manning document.

The Army Reserve is structured the same way. The focus of their mission is combat support and combat service support. It’s purpose is not individual argumentation. That is the mission of the Individual Ready Reserve (IRR).

Despite what the dumbass washout thinks, our Army has always been organized to have a small active and large reserve component. That is what the Constitution outlines for us in Article 1, Section 8.
