Are you armed while guarding Gus?  Not trying to gin up the unease but after what happened here in Canada to Cpl. Cirillo and WO Vincent (Cirillo shot in the back while guarding a War Memorial and Vincent run down walking through a parking lot while in uniform), I'd want to be paired up and packing.

The news media has created a self sustaining cycle of violence. I am sure many are secretly proud of themselves.

The most shocking fact about war is that its victims and its instruments are individual human beings, and that these individual beings are condemned by the monstrous conventions of politics to murder or be murdered in quarrels not their own. Aldous Huxley

It's kind of silly to investigate whether or not a Clinton is lying. That's sort of like investigating why the sky is blue. Banzai_Cat

I used to be able to watch Don Lemon but he is a total race baiter now.

Before my time in the Guard they were armed but it is a long story to explain how we got to this point. I am just struggling to get us assigned in pairs at this point.

Odd that in many states citizens can carry guns but the National Guard cannot. Sign of the times I guess.

Gus isn't in the National Guard, he's in the State Guard.  Two different organizations.

Black Lives Matter protest changed to a cookout with police

No violence to see here O0

Congrats to Gordon Ramsay, Police Chief of Wichita, Kansas and the local BLM activists who decided to sit down, talk and break bread together instead of clashing heads.

Quote
Many praised Ramsay for holding the event, and several audience members said that in all the years in Wichita, they couldn't remember a police chief coming out in the community like this.

Here's hoping that police chiefs and BLM groups across the country take note of this and have their own sit downs.

Sorry for the mix-up. I assumed 'Guard' meant National not State. Still not allowing them to be armed seems ironic when many private citizens can be.

Not every state has a State Guard, so it's an easy point of confusion.

Good to hear not everyone is crazy, but the more "mainstream" BLM activists probably think its heresy.

Sorry yes State Guard. Some State Guards are armed...like Texas. Many are not, like NY or CA. Some fall somewhere in between, like VA.

A second soldier with me would at least put my mind at ease a little bit. Standing post alone for hours can drive you crazy.

In another time long, long ago, I worked as a Juvenile Corrections Officer on the night shift. Our mods had 15 single bed rooms or 25 double bed rooms and you had to do a bed check every 10 min.-- all night. Many nights I was alone-- all the kids were locked-up of course-- practically the entire shift. What an easy job right? Nothing's harder than working by yourself for hours on end and still trying to maintain an edge and alertness all the while when the slightest lapse or slip can end very badly for you. And I didn't have cars coming at me.
