There are roughly 16,000 Tennessee Army and Air National Guardsman. The deployment of 700 is 1) routine and 2) hardly leaving the citizens of Tennessee abandoned.

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.

Makes sense.
Hard to believe they can’t do two things
Never ending war in the Middle East sans declaration should not be routine.
4.4% is not trivial.
This was my first thought as well...I counldn’t imagine 700 personnel completely debilitating a national guard of any state.
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.
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.
NOT THE POINT!! WHY ARE THEY GOING TO KUWAIT??? WHY???
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?
