Our daughter is in the UT Nat Guard. She was released from the callup yesterday. She said they were each issued 300 rounds. She said that they were sweating whether they would be required to use them against Americans. As it happened, the protests where she was consisted of fewer than 20 people. Read her words clearly and carefully. Note that little Ms. National Guard was not sweating "Not following Orders". She was not worried about the consequences of UCMJ. NOPE The thought process is clear as day. If they require her to use those 300 rounds against Americans, she is going to do it. Plain and simple. She may not like it, but she is going to do it. To be fair E-3s in the Nat Guard are not going to save the world. We had better hope Nat Guard Chain of Command is unphucked at a much higher level than E-3.. Time Will Tell.

I have refrained from comment about the the NG for fear of hurting feelings. On TV, they look like soldiers. In reality, 90%of them look like Oprha, only shorter.
The only thing worse than a liberal is a liberal that thinks they're a conservative.

Except those who have been deeply involved in GWOT for the past 2 decades. Pretty much all of them are honed to a sharp edge. We better hope they uphold the oath. I am optimistic.

Grin, You mean like this: ![[Linked Image from i.imgur.com]](https://i.imgur.com/uy6EN6A.jpg) The reason I took the pic was that the hungry hungry hippo female E-7 had her Beretta literally duct taped into the shoulder holster. There was no way to physically remove it, short of cutting it out. I tried to get a good pic, but a young Marine got in the way of the photo opportunity. The Marine actually had his rifle squared away. No surprise there. The odds of that woman passing a PT test, or being useful in the event of an attack were less than zero. Sadly that was a pretty common sight back in the 2007-2010 time frame.

Probably 20% are former active duty and many with combat experience. Even 1/4 of a platoon firing as they have been drilled will cause the others to follow suit. It’s human nature.

Best Ranger competition...... FORT BENNING, Ga., - The Army National Guard made a strong showing in the 27th annual David E. Grange Jr. Best Ranger Competition here last weekend, with three teams competing against the active duty Ranger representatives.
The teams were represented by Maj. Jamison Kirby and Sgt. 1st Class Robert Hoffnagle of the Army National Guard Warrior Training Center, Capt. Robert May and 1st Sgt. Kevin Dylus of the North Carolina Army National Guard, and Capt. Christopher Ahlemeyer and Staff Sgt. Robert Tobin of the Rhode Island Army National Guard.
The competition started with 40 teams, and by the start of the third day, only 25 teams remained. Of those 25, two were National Guard teams.
"These teams represented the National Guard very well. We usually don't see a lot of National Guard teams," said Capt. John Vickery, Best Ranger Competition project officer. "Two of them finished, and the other came really close. We are really proud of the National Guard this year." Jayco😀
