I may be off-base on this, but I distrust having the military assist in this.
The military has demonstrated they have people in place who are untrustworthy, starting at the SecDef and the JCS.
It pains me to say this. More than anyone can guess.
I am with you on that issue. It pains me terribly especially since I spent 30 years on AD. Senior Officers used to be trusted. Their honor and integrity was absolute. No more. God help America
IMO, you are not off base. Rank and file NG troops are not likely a problem, but the command structure might be.
From wikipedia:
“The state National Guard is organized into units stationed in each of the 50 states, three territories, and the District of Columbia, and operates under their respective STATE OR TERRITORIAL GOVERNOR, except in the instance of Washington, D.C., where the National Guard operates under the PRESIDENT of the United States or his designee.”
Now governors and Presidents wouldn’t stoop to politics in making appontments and “operating”, would they...?
You should. the DHS cybersecurity group and the DoD were together mucking around in the elections from 2016 (and presumably the DoD and CIA before that).
The NG in 14 specific states shows where they think they need to do the really heavy lifting.
