Part of the spread-the-latest virus program.
Is anyone else tired of the federal government using National Guard troops overseas when they should be at home protecting our National borders and shooting cartel members?
Why are they using the NATIONAL Guard for this????
Why is this a military operation at all?
Shouldn’t they be sending social workers?
Another pointless, wasteful military deployment. It is sad to ponder how many of these young men will die on this mission that never should have happened.
Cancel travel from Africa, but send the guard there.
Probably need them guard out of the way for a Democrat run riot in Va.
They’re going to Djibouti. The U.S. has a base there, as do the Chinese.
I guess the Oklahoma National Guard was not available.
No thank God!
BEDFORD, Va. -- State and federal elected officials and senior military leaders joined families, friends and fellow Soldiers to mark the official start of federal active duty for more than 1,000 Virginia and Kentucky Army National Guard Soldiers Nov. 27, 2021, at departure ceremonies in Bedford, Virginia, and Lexington, Kentucky. Virginia units from Bedford, Charlottesville, Lexington, Pulaski and Suffolk and a Kentucky unit from Somerset, Kentucky, are mobilizing as Task Force Red Dragon under the command of the Lynchburg-based 1st Battalion, 116th Infantry Regiment, 116th Infantry Brigade Combat Team, to provide a security force in support of Combined Joint Task Force - Horn of Africa. It is the largest VNG single-unit mobilization since World War II.
Infantry to Horn of Africa!
they should be pulling security duty on the Mexican border, not in some sh!t hole country in Africa.
