Pretty Scary New National Guard TV Advertisement

1) The reference to serving the "Country" is completely true, in practice, since much of our National Guard was gladly turned over to the Federal Army without question. Did you see any state Guard units/entities exercise or even suggest they had an OPTION to refuse deployment? LOL.

2) The choice if music is ATROCIOUS. Wasn't this from The Omen, for crying out loud? How creepy and disturbing is that?!

It should be balanced a bit, don't you think?

Maybe show a scene of flag draped caskets,

Vet in a wheelchair,

Not all macho with no consequence

Also don't forget

Mansions, cars, private jets of Halliburton/KBR execs

Stock portfolio and investments of Cheney/Rumsfield

"Quality of care" our vets receive when they return less of a person than when they left

and on, and on, and on..
