The day of the inauguration will be a sad day in American history. Sad because a US president feels the need to surround himself with soldiers to keep the people away. Even more sad because it might actually be necessary. Sad because the outgoing President is still pouting and willing to put his feelings ahead of the needs of the nation. Sad because perhaps a man who is least capable of any person ever will be inaugurated. I have lived through some inaugurations which were less than thrilling and some which were disappointing (like Jimmy Carter and Slick Willie), but I've never imagined one as depressing as this. Surely, "Bad Moon Rising" will be the theme song for this event. GD

We have to have 25,000 troops in Washington D.C because the crazies are out in force these days,
It is sad because so many people like the D.C rioters believe the lies they have been told over the last 4 years,
Trying to talk people down from a reality they have constructed from the lies of the last 4 years is like talking
an advancing avalanche back up the mountain.

I have not seen one tiny bit of evidence that says Trump did not lose this election far and square.
If people can believe a Q ANON conspiracy theory about who is really running the world why can`t
these people believe that this is all a plan by Russia to do exactly what is happening in America right now.

I know you all think you know what is reality and what is going on, but you don`t. The evidence is all around you
if you would only open your eyes.

Just because this group disagrees with me does not make them right about what they say.

I posted the link above. Data integrity is extremely important when everyone is trying to spin the truth. The information used by the data scientists was provided by public sources. I know it's longer than a CNN sound bite, but the implications are staggering.

Need one tiny bit, funnybone? How's this: Minneapolis printed and mailed 85,000 official absentee ballots. And then tallied 120,000 of them. Kindly explain that if you can.

All the pictures I’ve seen are of “armed” soldiers with no magazines. I’m sure it wouldn’t take long to slap a fresh mag in the empty rifle but without a magazine and ammo armed doesn’t mean much. 😉

It’s probably not a good idea to give 25,000 weekend warriors a loaded automatic rifle to wander around the nation’s capital. 😂. The force would be reduced by 30% by the 20th from accidental discharges.

Going to War
If you're deciding whether to enlist in the National Guard, keep in mind that deployment to a combat zone is a possibility. This wasn't always true: during the Vietnam War, only a few Guard units deployed to the battlefield. After the war, the Pentagon decided the Guard should play a larger role in wartime and restructured the military accordingly. The 9/11 attacks intensified the change. As of 2018, more than 50 percent of the National Guard have combat experience.


Jayco👍

You are a good guy but the Nat Guard has been deployed for close to 2 decades putting the smash on terrorists in the GWOT.

Lots and Lots of NG guys have multiple combat tours to schitt hole countries.

Not much of a fan of the "Weekend Warrior" label.

No offense meant and rant off.

I had to think about the implications of what I said and you’re right. I didn’t take into account how many currently deploy and I apologize. I meant no disrespect.
