I too, disagree with the latter point, it was meant as sarcasm. [humor]Only a douchebag could have missed it.

However, I do believe active duty is coming for ARC iron, I see the push every day. The “operational reserves” is the new norm, and it comes at the expense of the strategic reserve. TFI units are the future and the ARC assets will be used up at an active duty pace. The Air Force needs new toys, and the ARC has them.
I hope we can recap the active force without destroying our strategic reserve.
