Congressional delegate marches Guam National Guard to Marjorie Taylor Greens office in the Capitol.

New use of military inside the US on critics. I think there is a law against this. Wonder if it will be prosecuted by the AG?

he is wrong, he can respond while not in uniform about politcal issues, he used his position to respond to tucker.
we all have political opinions and we tend to let folks know them, that's fine except not while in uniform

if he was in my unit he would be in a not so nice position and conversation.

if military suddenly wants to open up, they should have done it sooner. why are they not freaking about the guard in dc, guarding a fence for political posturing of congress?
i will shut up now

Does NG have a different set of rules for politics while in uniformed status? I know USAF, MC etc. do have policies where mixing into the political arena, even making political statements while in uniform is a no no....
