The Kent State NG were really draft dodgers. Today's NG aren't. Most of the combat MOS troops have deployed at least once and many, if not most, are former active duty Army or Marines.

The FBI went through 33,000 of HRC's emails in less than 2 days, so...

I wonder how far back into their text history, online social media feed, etc. they went to find "inappropriate comments?" As for the other 10...I'm scanning the crowds and looking for brown shirts.

Joe Biden’s Pentagon Pick Lloyd Austin Vows to Rid Military Ranks of ‘Racists and Extremists’
https://www.breitbart.com/politics/2...ts-extremists/
"Lloyd Austin, President-elect Joe Biden’s nominee for defense secretary, said Tuesday during his confirmation hearing that he would work to rid the military of “racists and extremists.”
Democrats in recent days have sounded the alarm over the prospect of extremists in the military, after veterans and active-duty members of the military were identified attending a pro-Trump protest at the Capitol on January 6, with some breaching the Capitol building......."
This might get interesting - all depends on what their definition of ‘Racists and Extremists’ is.

And you think gun sales are high now? Wait until the "racists and extremists" get their DD214's in hand and officially join the "militia".

I expect that the Biden admin has executive orders about to be announced to affect the gun scene. Better have what you need now, and not later.

Washington, D.C. — Now Effectively Under Martial Law

To the lawyers:
How is it Texas did not have STANDING in the presidential election process in PA but provided NG troops for the inauguration? They should have at least refused on those grounds or counter sue.

Personally, I think it's the even "newer, nicer" GOP who just wants to play nice and do their part to show their support for their new president. Then again, I could be wrong.
