    These guys aren’t ICE. They didn’t volunteer for this bullshit. Guard members are mostly people wanting some extra cash to pay for college and shit that signed up to go to training a couple weeks a year and to help out following a flood or wildfire.

    They did not sign up to occupy other states. But now they potentially face the death penalty for refusing to go.

    Yeah, they can refuse illegal orders, but with so many Courts having been taken over by the fascists, they can’t depend on that to save them from the firing squad. So they suit up and go stand around for a few weeks. I’d honestly rather have them than ICE, since they aren’t guaranteed to be racist piles of shit.

      I don’t know. Considering that these guys feel through the cracks and failed to meet the expected height, weight and fitness and were deployed, I do question the quality assurance process and the competence at the top level.
