#2 Nothing many other states have done. When the Feds nationalize the national guard and send it out of state who's there when natural disasters (you know, like say, a hurricane) hit. That this hit a nerve with the Left clearly shows they know they're playing with fire.

#4 California has the SMR, the state military reserve for exactly the same reason, a housekeeping force and disaster response force. As i recall several hundred retired and former service guys. The uniform is the same, it just says California not US Army.

#7 That is the stupidest headline you've ever printed. The Florida State Guard would have no similarity to an army except for an hierarchy.

#10  That is the stupidest headline you've ever printed.

Oh, yeah? Hold our collective beers because according to anonymous psychics, 2022 is gonna be a doozie. And since we hoover up news from some of the zaniest places on Earth, nay, the Solar System, your sensibilities are in for a severe bruising. Enjoy!

Hence the periwinkle response, dear Nero Flating355. We find our amusements where we can in these troubled times.
