We need them to truly understand they’re being used as political pawns.

That may not be important in DC atm but having a cynical, awake National Guard questioning their orders in Chicago or New York may be the difference between whether they follow orders to shoot us or not.

After watching the Venezuelans in an ambiguously identified boat in international waters getting illegally droned without justification, we’re going to need troops who are open to evaluating and perhaps refusing to carry out illegal orders.
