Sending the Guard overseas is flat out UNCONSTITUTIONAL.

If anyone bothers to read that document anymore.

Considering they way they have bene treated starting with Jan6 2020, this should come as no surprise to anyone but the clueless as always, leftists.

Lolita C. Baldor can go pound sand, lying POS. She wouldn’t go near the real reasons for the recruitment issues.

If I was young and there was a draft today I’d leave the country rather than serve under the likes of that draft dodger,”The Big Guy”.

I'm no Constitutional scholar but I'll wager that you're wrong here. Every active,and retired,member of the Armed Forces is under the command of the President of the United States and his designees. They can,at the Presidents whim,be sent anywhere in the world at any time.

Of course that doesn't happen often (if ever) with retirees but Reserves...National Guard...it does today.IIRC it seldom happened during Vietnam but things have changed.

Afghanistan had a lot to do with people leaving the Guard and the military in general. Many of us lost friends and people sacrificed many years of their lives only to have the Biden administration turn tail and run giving back all we had shed out blood for.

Not to mention the 13 Soldiers getting killed in the unorganized pullout.

One thing "leadership" have kept quiet is how many others were badly injured and maimed for life in that same incident.

“Curious if any boys from the South are signing up now”.

I was about to say almost the same thing.

Who wants to be called a racist, forced to get jabbed, etc.

Who wants to be used and abused?

The US might need to start hiring mercenaries.

They are busy working on their own exit plan.

“And I am 3rd generation military.”

My family has been bearing arms for this country since we took a ship here in 1776 from Ireland to enlist with the Continentals. One of us assembled and loaded the Hiroshima and Nagasaki weapons on Tinian. Dad flattened a Communist city from a B-52 in 1972. I served in the Corps.

We’ve always served to fight tyrants. We do not serve them. There’s no damned way I’d enlist today, and I tell any parents I know to keep their kids out of the Communist sh!t-show they’ve turned our military into.

Speaking of the Guard...

This mission of the militia is 3-fold, as specified in the US Constitution. Invasion, rebellion, and enforce laws of the states. None of that mission involves overseas operations. No could the militia perform such duties overseas.

Furthermore, service is compulsory for males; the US Constitution doesn’t know anything about a “reserve militia” or “unorganized militia.” It is the only institution that is necessary for a free state. Not Congress, the Judiciary, the Executive, or any other organization is cited as necessary.

So the Dick Act of 1906 and the proceeding NDAA are unconstitutional on their face.

Yet no one challenged the militia being essentially rolled up into a modified version of the US Army reserve. We lost the ability to deal with what confronts us today, because we don’t know our Constitution, nor history.

If we followed the Constitution, illegal immigration, and unsecured borders would be solved over a weekend. Not to mention all the other agencies that were created after the 1906 debacle, to fill the void.

Dr Edwin Vieira’s book “Constitutional Homeland Security” is a resource. As is his video “Principles of a Constitutional Militia.”
