This post headline is very misleading. Reading the article, there could be more to this but I dont think so. Im not pissing on a wet blanket here and anyone can get pumped up about implications of National Guard activations. This post is misleading the article as almost the WHOLE national guard in all states and provinces is on the ready. The article is simply Minnesota Guard members are on duty for community service which is "Covid" related.

Its been over 20 years but when I was in the National Guard any domestic and community operation involvement like this was entirely voluntary. For instance huge forest fires during those years, chain of command would request volunteers to assist the forest service and fire departments to help fight the forest fires. It was voluntary activation and not deployments. Local concerts same thing, volunteers to provide security and water buffalo to outdoor activities. I participated in many of these. Perhaps the landscape is different in regards to activation and operational status for the National Guard these days, I dont know, but this looks ALOT, to me like a community request for help by state to assist with "Covid" and is volunteer based by the state guard Unit.

For the record I typed Covid in quotations because I am not perpetuating the validity or buying into the ruse of outbreak nonsense that is driving what those activations are for.
