    Rebellion? No. National Guard troops all want to go home every night. All the DOD has to do is court martial any CO who refuses for dereliction of duty. No one in the Guard is going to risk their pension.

    This is nowhere close to a “Civil War”.

      That’s also assuming the court martial doesn’t end with corporal punishment. Subsequent to wanting to go home every night is wanting to go home, period, and while I’m sure a few are buying the bullshit Abbots selling, I’m willing to bet that most won’t exchange bullets over it

        These are he-man tough guys in the Guard. They would be willing to go to jail (to prove they’re tough) before they would want to lose their pension.

        Just go for the benefits and pension and they’ll fold faster than Superman on laundry day.
