Natl Guard Chief says NG troops defending border is a waste of time
The Chief of the National Guard Bureau, General Daniel Hokanson, testified to Congress that the NG troops deployed to protect the southern border isn’t a militarily relevant mission. The quote is that it has “no military training value”, which seems pretty dense to me. He’d rather instead of deploying to defend the nation, they instead […]

One of the issues reported to the […]
Senate approves bill that provides military aid to foreign countries, but falls short on US border security
The U.S. Senate approved a foreign aid bill that would provide military aid to Israel, Ukraine, and to Taiwan. Contrary to House Republican hopes, the status quo regarding the border remains.
