Should we pass a law banning foreign deployment of the National Guard? |
|
After all, that isn't what they are for. The name's a dead giveaway.

1. I dont think an absolute ban would be good ... |
|
But MUCH stricter limits would be appreciated by normal (un-neoconnish) people ...

2. Perhaps their deployment outside the continental United States, or even outside |
|
of their home states, would have to be approved by some supermajority of Congress, and subject to review and mandatory revote every 6 months or every year or something like that.

3. I was under the impression that they weren't supposed |
|
to be out of the United States anyway. But yeah, they belong here for domestic issues.

My Thoughts? I was thinking about the Guard this am. So many common Americans who were willing to sign up for regular Guard duty, weekends here at home occasionally - think...I don't really know their normal schedule but.....how many have been deployed to Iraq? Somehow on the news you don't hear National Guard troops. The entire situation is so sad.
