I’m betting on number one. The DC NG ‘deployment’ has been a joke. Lots of soldiers wandering aimlessly around the mall and picking up trash, and none of the drama and bloodshed that ghouls like Miller were hoping for. They’re gonna try somewhere else.

Eh, Miller is using Grandpa Mcranty to push his shitty white nationalist agenda just like the rest of them. He’ll pretend to mourn just like the rest of them and then carry on terrorizing people.

Those national guard non rates are really getting a taste of the active duty life on this dumbfuck ‘deployment’.

It’s gonna be weird as shit.Normal people celebrating, Trumpistas mourning, and Republican leadership being privately relieved while pretending to mourn.

The Navy doesn’t even have any vehicles they can bring, other than, like, some forklifts and SeaBee dump trucks. Just rank after rank of disinterested sailors lollygagging along. This parade is going to be hilarious.

Doubt this will still be going on. I was active duty, not guard, but I’m pretty sure they have to start paying the troops our full-time benefits if the orders go over 30 days, and we know how this administration feels about fucking over the military and veterans.

Good. Private Snuffy should be playing spades and dipping Copenhagen with his buddies while they complain about how stupid ths is, not out in neighborhoods playing untrained cop. This is honestly a best case scenario here.

Divination seems like it could be useful just to improve everyday life, maybe use it to pick lottery numbers or cheat at the casino. Evocation would be cool for like 10 minutes, but casting fireball would get old and honestly the local police would probably mag dump on you if they saw you do it.
