I'll bet they're not accruing any benefits that active duty were normally accrue. And what kind of havoc is it wrecking on their home/work life. They're being used illegally; do they feel that in their bones yet? How many have lost jobs/promotions due to trump always activating the National Guard for duties that are not theirs to perform? Wanna bet how fast he activates the Nat Guard when the hurricane hits the East Coast? (A duty which IS in their legal purview).
