I went to see the movie with my cousin, who is a 1st. Lieutenant in the Army. He couldn't stop laughing about how the National Guard was filled with a bunch of out-of-shape regular people with no training, discipline, or equipment. He really laughed hard when the guardsmen in the commercial cleared a room by opening the door and bursting in, which as you may imagine isn't standard operating procedure. As I said at the time, I can't believe my tax dollars are used for this.

Is your cousin AG by any chance?
The room entry in the video is pretty accurate, suprising given the theatric nature of the video. Since your cousin didn't realize this I can only assume he has never been part of a dynamic entry before, probably because he is a pogue. Either way, he should know that the guard is taking up the active Armys slack, and doing a damn good job of it (sometimes better than they can do themselves). Only bitches gripe to civilians about other branches of the military. One team, one fight.
