I like the citizen soldiers in the national guard.
And I do think they’d be far less likely to disobey an illegal order to fire on Americans. They are us....living and working with us every day.
Prior to the pink swastika, I had lots of faith in the active duty soldiers.
But when an ignorant battalion commander in the famed 101st Airborne division emails his troops and tells them to be alarmed with anti-gay groups like the Family Research Council, American Family Association, and, believe it or not, Focus on the Family was in that email, then I don’t know who to trust on the active duty side.
The state/national guard aren’t what you need to worry about. The cops manning the speed traps and keeping the dunkin’ donuts safe for democracy will be the ones doing the raids, roundups and blockades.
