Yeah, I got called up in the Maryland National Guard when the riots occurred in the late 1960's. What a mess. The Guard should have been called up for the riots, in Portland, Seattle, Minneapolis and all the other communities that suffered riots that were allowed to go on and on all summer long.

As I see it this is just a show, a circus, a lot of drama over a tempest in a teapot. And at great expense to taxpayers and inconvenience and probably some financial cost to the Guardsmen/women who are called up lol.
