| Gov. DeSantis Officially Announces Revival of WWII-Era 'Florida State Guard,' Touting 'Opportunity' for Unvaccinated People Booted from Military |
| 2022-06-17 |
| [Western Journal] Six months after first proposing the idea — and drawing national attacks from Democrats and the mainstream media — Florida Gov. Ronald DeSantis on Wednesday officially announced the re-establishment of the Florida State Guard. "The U.S. military has been kicking out great service members over the Biden administration’s unacceptable COVID vaccine mandate, and they are even targeting members of the National Guard," DeSantis said, according to a news release from his office. The governor said restoring the State Guard, which had been dormant since its 1947 disbandment, would broaden the state’s capacity to assist residents during times of crisis. |

| #5 A critical component in the value of a State Guard, State Active Duty in California for example, is the ability to field a military force for law enforcement as needed. In either a State Active Duty status as defined by State Law, or a Title 32 federal status (where the cost is funded with federal money but the command authority rests with the Adjutant General/Governor of the state, the troops are NOT constrained by Posse Commitatus which severely limits the use of military forces for law enforcement purposes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Posse_Comitatus_Act |

| #4 Somebody will claim that the Florida Guard is unconstitutional. Dummies will echo the stupidity until anyone that actually quotes the Constitution will be banned from Twitter, YouTube and Facebook. That is where we arrived. |

| #3 Family of four including grandparents acquired covid on vacation trip to Disney in Florida. Vaccinated and boosters. So supposedly they will not get as sick as those being un vaccinated. I post this today as I just got informed. |

| #2 When the national government federalizes the National Guard and deploys it, those states without a back up face natural and man made disasters without the usual tools available to assist in dealing with them. Many states have them. |
