It is very simple, they may hate a tyrant but they hate a invader worse. I have never meant that service in the National Guard was less than honorable. In today's world, the Guard is liable to find itself in harms way in a heartbeat but not so in dubya's day. When Johnson decided to excempt the Guard for active duty, it became a haven for rich men's sons to escape facing enemy bullets but maintain a semblence of military service so they would not be lumped with those who went to Canada. They were still draft dodgers. You can't blame them, Vietnam was a miserable and stupid war America should never have sent her sons to, just like Iraq. Now our armed forces are all volunteer even the reserves and the National Guard and all have to pay the piper when some idiot calls the tune.
