California Army National Guard Commander on Ukraine: We Must Stand Ready
breitbart ^ | 03/10/2022 | Kristina Wong

Posted on 03/10/2022 2:05:09 PM PST by DFG

The California Army National Guard commander on Sunday sent a memorandum to soldiers serving in the California Army National Guard — which is partnered with Ukrainian forces under the State Partnership Program — asking them to “stand ready.”

The subject of the memorandum, obtained by Breitbart News, and issued by Army Maj. Gen. Laura L. Yeager, was “Letter to the Field — Ukraine.”

“We cannot predict what our role may be at home or abroad, therefore we must stand ready. We ask each of you to self-assess and seize the initiative to improve your personal readiness,” Yeager wrote.

The memorandum said in full:

As we watch the war unfold in our partner nation of Ukraine, our role as defenders of democracy is highlighted and increased in importance. Democracy can coexist with all peaceful nations but the actions of President Putin prove that oppressive states choose not to respect the sovereignty of democratic free countries. I am proud of our lasting partnership with Ukraine and their valiant fight to protect their freedom and their nation is inspiring. We are working diligently with our state and federal partners to help facilitate getting the Ukrainian military and citizens the equipment and humanitarian assistance they need to continue their defense.

What in the ever lovin’...? Since when are NGs ever deployed in an overseas war without the direct input of the CIC? Now, I admit we’re lacking a CIC, but still.

Our “partner nation?” I must have missed it when Ukraine was admitted into NATO. Otherwise, we have no obligation to come to their aid. We just got our soldiers/sailors home and they can’t wait to send them to fight again, FFS!

Reservists in California should state that they cannot go. They have not yet completed their inclusive transgender diversity training on how all 57 genders are equal.

Why? Is Ukraine putting biolabs in Mexico?

I can’t understand why the sh*t-faced, pony soldier, Jo Jo the Pedo Clown doesn’t send the Magnificent Ukrainian Vindman Brothers to the Ukraine to take care of Pooty Pooh and his guys. A grunt and his lawyer brother. They should be able to handle it.

...inclusive transgender diversity training on how all 57 genders are equal.

I thought the more oppressed genders were also therefore more equal than the others?

Steadfast refusal to defend the border in Mexico—wants to defend the border in the Ukraine.

That is the definition of total insanity.

When before in the history of the world has a country refused to defend its own borders while wanting to intervene halfway around the world?

Nobody has been that stupid.

Nobody.

Joe Biden ended his SOTU speech with, “Go get him!” I guess the Army National Guard Commander took that to heart.

They should be standing ready at our southern border, not in some GD foreign land.

Fat boy vindman probably soils himself at the prospect of actually dodging bullets.

Looking at their uniforms, those boys appear to be “PX Heroes” to me.
