Ever wonder why so few States want an infantry unit, but are more than happy to take on Engineering or Aviation outfits?
Cause Uncle Sugar pays for all that expensive hardware (choppers/dozers, etc) that the ‘Govenor’ can use for basically the cost of labor.
Again it’s all money driven! Not defense or Constitution driven!
Maybe it’s the space force’s promotion of transgenderism that is the issue.
The State Guard isn’t a fighting force, it is a helping force of nice volunteers for emergencies, that is why you can enlist at age 67 and serve to age 70 and if disabled they will look at that, you won’t be learning how to throw a hand grenade or shoot a rifle.
The Texas State guard also has a police unit that can carry guns.
Can Florida State Guard carry guns or other weapons?
“Only those members of the specialized unit who meet the requirements in Florida Statute 943.13 and are certified as law enforcement officers are authorized to have the same law enforcement authority as the law enforcement agency in conjunction with which they are working when activated.”
“you won’t be learning how to throw a hand grenade or shoot a rifle.”
I don’t have to learn how to throw a hand grenade or shoot a rifle. I have done both and a lot more.
I’m 76, but that does not mean I cannot do anything.
I was talking about the Texas State Guard not you.
Why would you think the Air National Guard people would be flocking to a state guard unit of volunteer emergency situations helpers?
Nah, but it requires a new uniform label of “Space Cadet”.
Pretty sure I can see her.. flying saucers...
Biden will have his Biden Space Case Force.
