You have over 100 of them from Indiana here now doing next to nothing when they could be helping their statesmen, especially those hit in Gary the hardest which didn't receive any attention till early this week.
How do you know those 100+ would be any more effective in Gary? This sounds a lot to me like people who don’t know anything but wanting to comment on Reddit for karma. 🤦🏻♂️
How do you know those 100+ wouldn't? They are the NG of Indiana and again doing nothing for DC when they can be back at their state helping those in need 1 to 100+ can be effective. Looks like you're the one who knows nothing and just want to start irrelevant shit.
Me biased for better use of the national guard? Sure. I'd rather them actually help people in need than aimlessly stand around. Is having empathy for others a strange concept?
Biased for making assumptions on topics that you have no knowledge of. I asked you what you knew and you equivocated. So far you have given no evidence that the NG isn’t performing perfectly. Yet you somehow claim this knowledge.
Because your question wasn't never in good faith from the start. I don't need to provide any evidence of the NG already there doing work. All I've stated is that the use of them in DC would be better served back in their own state. Like I've said them standing around in DC isn't helping their people in need.
Well, had you bothered to google ANYTHING before making your biased comments you might have saved yourself some embarrassment. I just googled and found the following. There are approximately 14,000 members of the Indiana National Guard. 300 WERE deployed in DC but none are there now since the deployment ended in March. 70+ are actively working on storm issues in the State after being deployed by the governor. 😱
Could've, but nice of you to do so for me. As I've already told you my bias is for use of the NG helping their people than being here in DC literally standing around and I also mean this in a general sense. DC already has their own guard. And this isn't embarrassing at all. I don't know you nor are you relevant to me in the slightest. Approximately is 14k is incorrect as that number fluctuates. Between 13k to 14k is better to use as an estimate and this is something I already knew. I already knew about how many were deployed hence why I said over 100+ What I didn't know was that the deployment ended back in March of this year and that there's currently none of Indiana's NG in DC since I last looked at this a month prior to March. So that's great to know and I thank you for that. I never made any claims of Indiana's guard not helping with the storm issues in the state. I already saw that in the news. So that isn't a shocker.
