Francis, yes, there were weekend warriors at Camp Hill and in D.C. in 1968, but I was active Army and had real bullets in my rifle. We were put up at a women's dorm at Georgetown University and patrolled from M Street to Washington Circle or a little east, a very safe part of town, even during the riots. The weekend warriors, apparently without bullets, patrolled the bad part of town well north and east of the White House.
