While watching an episode "Goober Goes To The Car Show"......Eric Swolgaard
I don't think it's so much a contradiction that Andy refers to Goober's buddy as an old army buddy and that Gomer suggest Goober learned how to say "Yo !" while serving in the National Guard. The Army National Guard is used by many as a stepping stone into the regular army. In fact their are former National Guardsmen serving now in Afghanistan. Several of them come from Ft. McCoy in Wisconsin. And National Guardsmen are given the same respect and honors as any regular army soldier. For EX: my brother and my brother-in law were both given military honors at their funerals including a gun salute and taps...So I don't believe it was a contradiction as a lot of people refer to those in the National Guard as soldiers and army servicemen and women...
