Their initial deployment is expected to last for 30 days, though according to section 904 of Title 32: “The Governor of the State may, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Defense, extend the period one time for an additional 90 days to meet extraordinary circumstances.”

    In a weird way, I’m all for this.

    The national guard has been very restrained and professional in all deployments, it’s very cool how they’ve decided to start picking up trash in DC… And even before that, they way they just stand around and act like normal people has made them look very good IMO. They are so very clearly unwilling to terrorize Americans that every deployment turns into an act of resistance

    And then you get to the budget. They’re rapidly burning through their budget… And that’s going to be bad for natural disaster response, but that whole concept is already in the trash

    So yeah, burn up the budget. Cause problems. Turn the military against youselves. Forget to pay them. Humiliate them, make them sleep on the floor.

    When the time comes for them to remember their oaths, I hope they won’t have to think twice

    Well fuck, who possibly could have seen this bullshit coming?

    Their initial deployment is expected to last for 30 days, though according to section 904 of Title 32 "The Governor of the State may, with the concurrence of the Secretary of Defense, extend the period one time for an additional 90 days to meet extraordinary circumstances.”

    Rapid city, get that shit in writing! And be prepared and on the lookout for any “extraordinary circumstances” to occur sometime in the very near future.
