Gaurdsmen dont even get full benefits if trump periodically sends them home for a new outfit of troops from a different state
this is exactly why all the orders so far have been for 29 days, cause 30 days is the threshold to pay out BAH (housing) and healthcare benefits
the guardsmen get a day off, then it's another 29 days
Read a history books and look up the abuses that happen when they send guard on our people.
for the younger breh(ettes) among us:
"They have M16s and are locked and loaded. These troops know how to shoot and kill and I expect they will." - Governor Kathleen Blanco
"Federal law enforcement agents scoured the city carrying assault rifles seeking residents who have holed up to avoid forcible eviction. The police superintendent said that no civilians in New Orleans will be allowed to carry pistols, shotguns, or other firearms of any kind. That order apparently does not apply to the hundreds of security guards whom businesses and some wealthy individuals have hired to protect their property. The guards, who are civilians working for private security firms like Blackwater, are openly carrying M-16s and other assault rifles. The police superintendent said that he was aware of the private guards but that the police had no plans to make them give up their weapons."
A detachment of 300 National Guard troops have landed in anarchic New Orleans with the authorisation to shoot and kill "hoodlums", Louisiana Governor Kathleen Blanco says.
