WaPo headline:
"Pentagon plan would create military β€˜reaction force’ for civil unrest
...National Guard mission that, if adopted, would require hundreds of troops to be ready around-the-clock."

Their definition of "civil unrest" being, any criticism of Trump.

@Wileymiller@mastodon.social National Guard is like the Reserves, part time soldiers who would be taken from their jobs for this "duty". Employers are just supposed to go along with it as "good citizens". Pulling a bunch of people from the workforce will financially affect the soldiers as well as the businesses.
It sure would make me think twice about hiring someone who was a Guard or Reserve member.
