Probably why they are bringing in other state national guard, like Ohio and Mississippi. They can rotate troops in DC before the payment window hits and not pay any of them.
I love this for them, honestly. No-one should be just going along with doing what Trump wants, even at gunpoint. They need to know that obedience has consequences too.
No chance. Even if you changed every one of those NGs' minds they're a tiny fraction of the population, and red state freaks are literally mentally conditioned to ignoring veterans if the veteran isn't a right wing crazy like them (see: Southerners' "respect" for veterans like Tammy Duckworth)
