Now, a lot of them are National Guard

And reservists. That’s a consequene of a conscious decision by Colin Powell. As Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, he restructured the force, moving certain critical skills like Medical Corps largely into the Reserve. His outspoken intent was to make it impossible ever to go to war without the investment of the entirety of the population. He didn’t come up with a cure for bone spurs, however.
