Well thanks for sharing the bolded, and for your patience & consideration here.
Kent State is something that stays on my mind, I suppose, their being national guard notwithstanding.
The national guard are or were a part of our military and they are basically soldiers. I believe the guard was created by the military. The only real difference is who is charge. However I will always want our military to protect the people of this country from attack from anyone, any group, or nation when needed. The military is made up of some of the most skilled and highly trained people in the world. Whether it is a a temporary bridge to rescue people in peril or to protect people from being attacked it would be hard to find anyone more prepared to do the job in an emergency. To allow American citizens to die because of fear of our military is beyond ridiculous and stupid.
