700 Tennessee National Guard Deployed to Kuwait as State Struggles to Rescue Storm Victims
The Liberty Daily ^ | 9/28/24 | Publius

Posted on 09/28/2024 6:43:23 PM PDT by CFW

The Tennessee National Guard has been tasked with assisting citizens struggling in the aftermath of Hurricane Helene, but they’re doing so without the help of over 700 of their men. They were deployed to Kuwait by the Biden-Harris regime.

As independent journalist Nick Sortor reported from the ground, civilians are having to help each other in Eastern Tennessee where catastrophic flooding continues to put lives at risk.

Sortor posted to Twitter:

The Tennessee National Guard is NOWHERE TO BE FOUND in Eastern TN, despite MASSIVE flooding and missing people

Why? BECAUSE BIDEN & HARRIS DEPLOYED THEM TO THE MIDDLE EAST TODAY.

WTF?

People are trapped in their homes, multiple towns are underwater, and utilities are out, so PRIVATE CITIZENS are being relied on to haul in pallets of water and food.

The state simply does not have the resources to handle all of this now that their National Guard is overseas.

@ChrisHallWx and I just delivered 50 pizzas to first responders and the hospital in Newport, TN. It’s the first hot, fresh food they’ve had since the storm.

THIS IS INSANE.

That’s a good point. And no, people, they won’t need 17000 in TN.

I still ask why NG are being sent to not true war zones, and also why they have to act as firefighters. What apparently even conservatives expect of various military is getting absurd.

Right here in the USA, there is a volunteer organization called the Cajun Navy. They do rescues, especially of people facing water hazards. They do good work and are not under the asinine direction of Demento Biden or Lying Kamala.

From the article: They were deployed to Kuwait by the Biden-Harris regime.

A National Guard unit doesn't deploy without a signature from the state governor. In the case of Tennessee, Republican Bill Lee signed the deployment orders for 700 of the 10,700 Tennessee National Guard members.

Governors deploy their state National Guard members to get nationwide taxpayer money via the Department of Defense.

That’s not the point. It’s the National Guard, not the Kuwaiti Guard. If they’re sent anywhere they should be used to benefit/protect America and sent to OUR border to assist with the Border Patrol. You know, our own border which has long since become a national security ticking time bomb.

This deployment was scheduled at least 6 months ago that’s the minimum time to cycle and train a unit got deployment by federal law. They could have delayed their departure but that would also delay wherever unit is rotating home coming home. Deployments are never spur of the moment unless there is a declared national emergency which pauses the 6 month law. Having done the rotations its a long and orderly process to get a unit spun up to speed and deployment ready.

Great - 700 new USA hostages in the Middle East.

700 new trip wires for World War Three.

Not to mention a half billion dollars in military equipment.

Maybe a year and a half ago.

A guy at the office was an NG lieutenant.

Guess he is still there.

It makes perfect sense to Deep State.

The public now exists to serve its so-called public servants.

The article is saying Tennessee “doesn’t have the resources” to handle the situation. You’re disputing that? What are you basing that on? What’s your source?

Every hand is needed in Tennessee right now. We have American citizens suffering as more and more of our tax dollars and resources are sent overseas to benefit others.

If missing 700 soldiers is that painful, TN can easily request assistance from neighboring States. It's happened plenty of times before. Won't be the last.
