Do you believe DOD is relying to much on the reserves while sacrificing the active side in the draw down. With governors not wanting any reductions in their Guard components it looks like the active side will suffer more. Do you think we have a good balance of active and reserve?

You can't go to war without your support elements. And if they are all in the Reserves, you have to activate them....
