Really?! Nice characterization/generalization of the National Guard & our Soldiers who come back from the war. Way to buy into the Code Pink narrative & Hollywood portrayals of vets.
>>That is a HORRIBLE idea; in fact, it would be better to get the meanest, angriest, most PTSD-ed Guardsmen [in full battle-rattle with live-ammo and a green-light on shoot-to-kill anything that makes them jump] to act as escorts for the Governor and the Legislators.

Really?!
Yes, really.

Hey, I’ve been there and done that. I’m *STILL* pissed off at my country; not because they sent me but because they’ve/we’ve made a mockery of “Truth, Justice, and the American way.” What the F-—— kind of ‘Justice’ is it where the Courts can disarm everyone entering therein, ESPECIALLY JURORS WHO HAVEN’T EVEN BEEN CHARGED W/ A CRIME, in a Country where it’s highest court has REPEATEDLY declared that law-enforcement has no positive/affirmative obligation to protect a private citizen EVEN IF THE CITIZEN IS DISARMED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SOME LAW?
Yeah, *THAT’S* what I signed up to defend! [/sarc]

Like I said; *I* have experienced it myself. (Not to the degree/insanity that Hollywood portrays, but there is something irrational and insane about being constantly and consistently told “you’re defending Constitutional freedoms!” and comparing *THAT* to the reality that we see.)
Hell, I’ve had police show up on my property because they were called with a double-hearsay about my having a gun [in itself true] and waiving it around [completely untrue] DAYS after the ‘incident’ happened... the ‘incident’ actually being completely lawful.
