...Having two groups of armed men in the same area but not under the same orders is asking for trouble....
I can’t find any source saying that the Texas Guard being armed was included in the Governor’s orders to monitor the exercise.
Having any armed military on an exercise on US civilian soil among civilians is a very provocative move, isn’t it?
It is. But the military needs to train to fight 4th generation somewhere. We spent a decade and half trying to fight like WWII in an insurgency.
