As the situation in regard to report immigrants escalated, and the army may be used against Americans, do you believe there's a way back, or is this a one way street to civil war?

I mean, some of them knew it was coming and lost their phones, but I don't find it too surprising. Are you really going to risk serious consequences because you got activated when you shouldn't have been?

Report for duty and let your chain of command fight it out. It's not up to the guard members to work out the legality of their deployment

Now, if they start telling you to perform violence on civilians, that's when you can take a stand and refuse orders. And so far, that hasn't happened

I think they're doing well. I haven't seen them raise a finger to the protesters, they just stand there in a line calmly. The protesters are great with them too, they just keep yelling "you should be over here with us". And with any luck, the courts will give them back to the governor so they can go home before they have to make a hard choice
