You know it’s not the Generals and Colonels getting sick right? It’s not the career officers who work full time in the guard. They all buy their own food.

It’s the 18 year old private who is trying to pay for college; the 20 year old specialist who joined to learn a valuable job skill, the 30 year old sergeant who joined 10 years ago and stayed in to help protect his/her troops. They don’t have a choice.

I haven't been in the loop for a while.

What are the national guard defending the Capitol from?

Space Aliens? Patriots? Trump's Kids? An Invasion of Common Sense?

Against a national sense of security.

I get your point, but I'm not sure they have much say in the matter as far as following orders goes. I think its frowned upon in the military. I'll research that, just to be sure. Article 90 sounds serious

Failure to report for a deployment. It would likely be UCMJ action (especially if the governor wanted to make an example out of them)

So maybe some jail time and a poor conduct discharge. Which means it will be more difficult to pass a background check for future employment.

Edit: also possibly charged with dereliction of duty and conduct unbecoming

On the other hand, how stupid does one have to be to continue eating raw meat after the first bite?

More nasty, divisive editorializing from the usual suspects.

These are our kids who are being abused as propaganda, and they aren't even being fed properly.

This is why there will never be a 1776 v2.0. People can't inconvenience themselves for anything. Can't stop watching stupid football, can't a job that asks them to become traitors to their country, can't stop shopping at america-hating stores, can't stand up to dictator governors. Shit, people can't even cancel their twitter and facebook accounts. No one is going to lay their life on the line and take up arms against a tyrannical, corrupt govt.

If the military doesn't support the people they can't expect the support of the people.
