These Guardsmen, like me, joined to serve America. Point your finger at the civilian leaders, not the Soldiers. Please don't lose track of who gave the order to send these Soldiers to Washington DC.

I deployed to Iraq even though I knew it was an awful farce. But, the civilian leadership of the day made it happen.
