To stop an invasion of guardsmen from the shithole states*
Posted by ATL

The national guard has 3 different statuses….
Posted by LeatherneckIllini Also since Katrina, guard or federal officers are allowed to be appointed as “dual status commanders” and can take orders from both a governor and president. Done with the idea that in disaster relief all military forces can be consolidated and led by unity of command. In practice it means a state national guard general is given temporary control of federal forces to align them with their state guard.

If they do show up in Chicago, I hope everyone is ready to be extra mean to them.
