Answer me this

[KitchenWitch]

Why do we send national guard units into a war BEFORE activating the ACTIVE duty units...

[RevCheesehead]

1. Only if you answer mine:

Why do we send National Guard units overseas?
Isn't that contrary to their, you know, purpose?

[KitchenWitch]

4. Exactly

No explanation for it whatsoever.

[Spinzonner]

2. Depends, to some extent, what they're trained for

and what the needs of the forces are.

However, as they cannibalize and exhaust those deployed forces, that may have to change.

3. Well

If you want to get Tin-Foilish, it's to decimate the Guard so that in the event of Martial Law the military can take over much more easily, I guess.

Or, it's just that they are supreme dumbasses..

[KitchenWitch]

5. Oh, we are liberal with the tinfoil around her

:rofl:

Wish we did not have to be.

7. History has taught us - or should have - never put anything past this...

...administration.

[enigmatic]

8. Exactly

We are living in maga-strange times right now, w/ people in power trying to produce their own fucked-version of "Left Behind" on us.

It's almost surreal, really; maybe it is.

I'm designing fashionable hat patterns as we type.

12. I'd bet it would be very flattering.

[WannaJumpMyScooter]

9. Because the units activated have special

training or equipment for this particular warfighting.

Just the way it played out.
