Should be merged with Army National Guard. -- Paul Richter 03:30, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

  • Delete: Long standing, once and future recruiting pitch (he can't win election again). The article creation is a hidden political statement. (Not that I don't agree. I could rant for a long time on the subject.) Geogre 04:15, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • It wasn't supposed to be a political statement. I wrote down a list of things I wasn't sure WP had and them tried to crate articles for them. Admittedly, the list was only two items long and the other one was laugh track. I'm not trying to be political at any level. -Litefantastic 11:58, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Notable, really was used - wikipedia is designed to keep all knowledge and such. So it is worth an article.
  • Redirect The information is in the Army National Guard article. - Lifefeed 16:29, Dec 3, 2004 (UTC)
  • delete or merge; coverd in Army National Guard article. Fledgeling 21:50, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect. -Sean Curtin 02:30, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect at best. —[[User:Radman1|RaD Man (talk)]] 16:51, 4 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep there is alot which should be built up around this. I made an attempt, but only with internet sources so it comes out a little one sided. Mozzerati 23:20, 2004 Dec 4 (UTC)
  • Delete. The slogan and any controversy surrounding it could be discussed in the National Guard page I suppose, but this is unnecessary. Indrian 23:52, Dec 4, 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. Mark Richards 01:44, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Delete. It's just a slogan. --Improv 03:00, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep or merge complete text to Army National Guard. --Key45 22:42, 6 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Keep. [[User:Rhymeless|Rhymeless | (Methyl Remiss)]] 20:26, 7 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • Redirect Let the editors of Army National Guard decide whether this warrants mention. Apparently it is already mentioned in that article. It looks like it is someone's soapbox. --BM 03:41, 8 Dec 2004 (UTC)
  • hmm.. Wikipedia:Deletion policy#What to do with a problem page/image/category Problems that don't require deletion -> Article is biased or has lots of POV: Solution:- List on Wikipedia:Pages needing attention Add this tag: {{npov}}. It's already too long to help the National Guard article and whilst, in my belief it's important since hundreds of thousands of people have joined the national guard after having heard it (whether they believed it or not), it's not an issue which should have such a long section of that article. Please instead, make the effort to point out what is inaccurate on the talk page and to add what is missing. A good source for this might be the army recruiting page which has some warnings about what service will really be like. You will have to look back in archive.org since otherwise you won't be sure what they said at the time. Mozzerati 21:05, 2004 Dec 8 (UTC)

I removed the reference to the Home Gaurd of England during the Second World War. The comparison is absolutely ludicrous. I'm not sure I understand what happened to this article? Why is it still here. I would agree that it should have been merged or deleted, but it looks like nothing ever happened. 138.32.32.44 21:34, 8 September 2006 (UTC

This is just an opnion piece. I am in the guard and think this articles slam of U.S. soldiers is extememely disrespectful.

end moved discussion

Navy Reserve?::

I'm not american, but why isnt there a navy national guard to go along with naval and air force reserve units? At least, merged into the same overall structure as the others. 58.7.204.212 09:59, 22 September 2007 (UTC)
