For many Guardsmen, deployment to Iraq means economic ruin. They have mortgage payments, car payments, credit card debt, all calculated on their civilian salaries. Suddenly, for a year or more, their pay drops to that of a private. The families they leave behind face the loss of everything they have. What militia wouldn't desert in that situation?
I think it's funny when someone writes about something they know so little about.

Here's the story Lind apparently ripped off: Strains Felt By Guard Unit on Eve Of War Duty
Strangely enough, none of those guys complain about pending economic ruin - probably because they are all well aware of the Soldiers and Sailors Civil Relief Act of 1940.
