I’m a National Guardsman and very concerned about what will be considered a “legal” order in 2025.

Post Body

Several articles have been posted about plans for state-on-state military action under questionable circumstances. I’m extremely disturbed by this as a Guardsman. I didn’t sign up to use force against my fellow citizens. I signed up to protect the constitution and to help my fellow citizens in times of crisis.

I’m worried that too many Guardsmen, even myself, will be unable to distinguish between a lawful and unlawful order after rapid changes come down the pike. I will not degrade my uniform by violating civil rights for these toads. I do not believe that there is “an enemy within” as described by Trump or Stephen Miller. I do not believe that mass deportations require military intervention. I believe that if the goal is to deport people, there are diplomatic ways to do it, like going after root causes (employer penalties, benefits reductions, etc.)

I do not want to see another Kent State unfold, except this time it would probably be 1000x worse. I do not want to be seen in public as a pariah or as someone who might turn on you on Trump’s command.
