Salt Lake Tribune - Utah

Why do some guardsmen re-enlist?
From the Salt Lake Tribune:

Staying in the Guard

[...]
1st Lt. Bruce Bishop, 31, a Salt Lake County firefighter, said he'll stay 'because as I look around at the state of this nation and see all of the weak little pampered candy-asses that are whining about this or protesting that, I'd be afraid to leave the fate of this nation entirely up to them.'

Bishop, who served in Afghanistan, is among the 450 Utah Guard members deployed to Louisiana. Most are volunteers.

Without a doubt.
