I'm amazed at how quickly the US is collapsing into a series of buntustans ruled by warlords.

And in retrospect that's because I was so naive. That's on me, my bad.

This is one of the big changes since 9/11. The national Guard is now a a force of the regular rotation schedule. If you join the guard you can expect to be deployed overseas at some point.

This is so the active duty can focus on getting ready to fight Russia or China or be on a moment's alert to invade Poland or Ukraine or whatever the hell.

Yeah the redefinition of the national guard and the coast guard and air national guard into global offensive support units just kind of happened without any discussion or vote. You used to join the guard because you have kids and don't want to be gone for months.

When you ask coast guard people why they deploy to the black sea and shouldn't they rename it to the inland asian sea patrol they get really mad at you :shrug:

True enough, but the country doesn't have universal healthcare or college and you can get both by joining the Guard.

You can buy into Tricare Reserve Select, which is a portable, low premium, low deductible, low out of pocket health insurance program that is pretty close to what a public option ought to be, and you can get the GI Bill.

So you have to put up with being sent to Kuwait or Ethiopia for a year, but you won't have student debt if you use your education benefits wisely.

Since we don't have a draft the government wants to keep things this way to keep people signing up for the discount military. Use them like Active Duty but only have to pay them AD money when they're deployed.

There's National Guard being sent to all kinds of out of the way places you don't hear about.

Remember Kosovo? Still there, it's been a mainly Guard mission since 2006.

Did you know we still have troops in the Sinai watchin the border between Egypt and Israel as a result of a deal worked out by the Carter Administration?

Yup, still Guardsmen there.

Kuwait, Iraq, Syria, lotta NG there too.

Tulsi Gabbard just got back from a deployment to Africa with her unit.

and you still got takers snaking queues round the gourd of imperial provinces. its pretty impressive, really. the reserve army of labour model of wage suppression takes on a life of its own when the principle is applied to all possibility of advancement in quality of life on a global level. you dont even need to guarantee anything, just the distant possibility of escape from misery, offered to the enslaved masses of the most exploited provinces, guarantees that they will trample heads to grasp it

You couldn't grok my race car, but you dug the roadside blur.

Always there.

Except for when a joint session of Congress got raided and the Capitol building wasn't secure for like 4 hours, and then they just let everyone leave.



Anyway I think the National Guard should be immediately deployed to my balls.

The national guard will be ground up and made into hamburgers in some state that doesn't grow cows because of supply chain problems.
