  • I wonder if that’s a financially feasible scenario. I assume the National Guard gets some amount of federal funding and maybe access to equipment that a state militia wouldn’t have access to.

    The Wikipedia article you linked indicates that a large part of what the CSG does is directly in conjunction with the National Guard. If they’re toothless without the federal group, then it wouldn’t make sense to change the system.



  • Actual journalists tend to avoid anything that appears partisan. Their job is to report the news, not to deliver commentary.

    And a 20-year campaign by Republicans against mainstream journalists has left them in a position where even straight factual reporting is considered biased by 50% of voters.

    I agree that someone should follow up with these people and get them to really consider how their politics are affecting their own daily lives. But that really needs to be dealt with by pundits and talk-show hosts instead of reporters.
