| National Guard troops defending Capitol reportedly sick after eating raw meat |
| 2021-03-04 |
| [New York Post] National Guard soldiers defending the US Capitol have gotten ill after being fed meat that is almost completely raw — with shaved metal also found in the disgusting meals, according to whistleblowers. An anonymous staff sergeant with the Michigan National Guard told WXYZ that the force has repeatedly complained after more than a dozen troops were sickened by undercooked meat. "Yesterday, for instance, there were 74 different meals found with raw beef in them," the sergeant told the station Monday, sharing images of meat that looked completely raw in the middle. "Just yesterday ... soldiers had found metal shavings in their food," he said. Undercooked meals that are "good from the start" were then made "even more dangerous" by a delay of up to four hours before they were served, he said. |

| #13 The Dems stole the election from the people who later stormed the Congressional Chamber. The Dems are not resting easy at night. |

| #12 You raise an interesting point, Skunky. Is the "Praetorian Guard" made up of primarily blue state NG units? If so, it says a lot about the purpose of, and thinking behind, the deployment of troops in our Capitol. |

| #9 Hard to find which units are in DC. So far I have found D.C., Maryland and Virginia, New York, Delaware, Michigan, West Virginia, New Jersey and Pennsylvania have also been deployed. |

| #8 In third world countries families of federal troops have a very good life. The troops also control and run a lot more of the public infrastructure than people realize. |

| #6 C'mon Darth. They're from Michigan. Can you really imagine the Wicked Witch of the North standing up for her troops? If I'm the Head Honcho for the MI N.G., I'd pull them home on my own hook and immediate resign for breaking the chain of command. |

| #5 Third world countries know not to mistreat their soldiers. NG =/= "their" soldiers. NG are not under the control of Congress or anyone in DC. Posse comitatus. |

| #3 Unless they have been federalized (and I don't think they have), the governors can call their NG back. That would be the surest sign states are about to leave the Union if they pulled their NG back from Washington despite Federal orders. |

| #1 We are living in a Third World country. A wealthy one, sure, but with fierce corruption and official incompetence. A Latin-style oligarchy. Like Brazil or Mexico. |
