Getting back into my routine of scanning the usual suspects in the morning and was referred to this article on what the NG "should" want its future to be. Throwing it up for your reading pleasure.
[My personal opinion is that the author shows a misunderstanding of the purpose & role of the NG, as well as perhaps a misunderstanding of the mission set of the USAR. Additionally, yes it does sound like he is proposing "a dumping ground for the non-sexy stuff that the AC doesn't want to do."

Sounds like he has had some bad experiences. The NG or reserves for that matter should not be considered a dumping ground. They have separate and distinct missions that should work in parallel or are complementary of the AC. There is a ton of experience that resides there. Look at everything they did during OEF & OIF.
