California Army National Guard Commander on Ukraine: We Must Stand Ready
breitbart ^ | 03/10/2022 | Kristina Wong

The California Army National Guard commander on Sunday sent a memorandum to soldiers serving in the California Army National Guard — which is partnered with Ukrainian forces under the State Partnership Program — asking them to “stand ready.”

The subject of the memorandum, obtained by Breitbart News, and issued by Army Maj. Gen. Laura L. Yeager, was “Letter to the Field — Ukraine.”

“We cannot predict what our role may be at home or abroad, therefore we must stand ready. We ask each of you to self-assess and seize the initiative to improve your personal readiness,” Yeager wrote.

The memorandum said in full:

As we watch the war unfold in our partner nation of Ukraine, our role as defenders of democracy is highlighted and increased in importance. Democracy can coexist with all peaceful nations but the actions of President Putin prove that oppressive states choose not to respect the sovereignty of democratic free countries. I am proud of our lasting partnership with Ukraine and their valiant fight to protect their freedom and their nation is inspiring. We are working diligently with our state and federal partners to help facilitate getting the Ukrainian military and citizens the equipment and humanitarian assistance they need to continue their defense.

If it branches out beyond the Ukraine, yes. If not, we’re
doing what we should be as far as hostilities are concerned.

A nation that refuses to defend its own borders has no business sending any troops anywhere.

This is like sending the town cops to a neighboring town while the gang that lives next door is knocking down your back door.

"Maj. Gen. Laura L. Yeager"

You'll be on the first flight out and personally lead the troops in an attack on the Russkies?

“So this is how WWIII starts?”

Who better than CA to volunteer to start it and be Russian cannon fodder for the Marxists? They’ll charge into battle shouting their inspirational last words: “Diversity! Equity! Inclusion!”

Apparently dying on the steppes of Eastern Europe is a career aspiration of hers
