This article was clearly written by someone with limited understanding of PC and how it applies. These Texas guardsmen are not on T10 orders.
The whole premise of the article is flawed. The flaw stems from a lack of knowledge, and assumptions and inferences about what they think the orders
... Will be. How about we wait and see what shape reality takes before we assail this action based on assumptions and ignorance.
The Guard are plainly not there to act as border patrol, or DPS. Rick said so.
The Guard are acting only as observers. Rick said so.
The Guard are there to “show a presence”. Rick said so.
This means they are authorized to wear a uniform, to be assigned a rock to stand on, and as necessary the Guardsmen are allowed to point, and to say, “Look over there.”
Rick said as much.
There are questions whether they are even armed, or armed with rubber bullets. They may not arrest, or detain. They are there to basically watch the INVASION.
