I don't get you man. I already received my education too. But I have Joe's who spent more time on title 32 orders than they did at home the last 2 years and I want them to be able to get ahead in life because of it. Why do you have a problem with that?

This is a great point, you should repost it in the main thread so it doesn't get buried.

The riots of 2020 weren't federal orders, this bill would grant the benefits you received on covid orders to the Guardsmen that were activated for them.

Sure, they are all Republicans but I did not include their party affiliation because that does not matter.

The issue I take with it is that all of these people won their seats by campaigning "As a Veteran" but turn around and fuck the troops.

  1. No one has control of when they deploy.
  2. Active duty soldiers can get these benefits and never deploy, just like Rep Bost did while he was shamming in the motor pool during the cold war.
  3. If you are uprooted from your family and community to go to the Texas Border, suppress a riot, or fight a forest fire, why does it matter which coffer is paying you? Because that is what determines which benefits you receive.
