as to the situation in the states, this is how i see it.
Reservist are getting shafted pretty much in every fasion.
And i must also say i feel very sorry for all those 18 year olds who were pretty much forced into signing up into the armr because the goverment failed them in providing them a stable economy and actual chance at a higher education that lead to *real* jobs.
I mean from my perspective if you are 18, white, and live in some small rural area in the US , your are pretty much left with no alternative but to sign up with the army, not because this was your dream when you were five, but because you have a belly to fill.
take a look a Jess Lynch and many others like her.
disregard me if i made no sense, im falling asleep as i type this.

Im not attempting to approach you from a frictional angle; Im just curious as to what data has led you to these conclusions?
And how do you feel reservists are getting the shaft?
