Quote HistoryQuoted: I wonder what kind of legal restrictions are on the States, when it comes to buying and importing weapon systems like tanks and planes and choppers? Obviously they can buy automatic weapons and machine guns for the cops, but could Texas or Florida buy a T-90 from Russia? If you have an army you don’t need permission. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: If the DoD kicks out nearly half of the TX National Guard, what's to stop the governor from increasing the size and scope of the TX State Guard? Sure, they won't have the Federal weapons, equipment, and budget, but I have to imagine a state as big as Texas, which was once it's own republic, could find a way to put those soldiers to use. State Guard is a joke. |

They're deployed w/ the Texas National Guard on Operation Lonestar on the border right now. Do they get to carry guns and shoot back at cartel members? Assuming the governor was able to do something to absorb that many TXNG members into the TXSG (which I know many consider to be a joke), what's to say he can't expand the scope of their authority and arm them? As I recall, the TXSG has several MP BN's. If I were the TX governor and 40% of my NG were about to be kicked loose by the DoD, I'd want to retain those assets for the state-level missions they usually handle. I'd be sitting down with the TX Adjutant General and working it out. Part of the reason the TXSG is often considered a joke is because they have a lot of overweight and unqualified people running around the internet telling everybody that Active Duty soldiers should salute them when they're not ground-guiding Apaches. Well, shit, if you're given the opportunity to have a sudden influx of well-trained, disciplined, qualified, and (hopefully) physically fit people into the force, you revamp the force. Create two tiers of the TXSG. You have one tier made up of former NG members who are armed, paid, and given benefits. Then, you have a second tier made up of the existing TXSG members. The TXSG already has land, air, and naval/marine components. I bet they could find a way to make the discharged NG folks not feel like they're stepping down. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: I have 3 vaxed coworkers right now that are having serious medical issues. One just went on short term disability cause they don't know what's causing the issues and he can't work until they do. None of them had these issues until after they were vaxed. Another coworker and their spouse got severly ill with COVID (they both thought they were dying) even though they were both fully vaxed. Similar. I know several vaxxed guys who have had some weird complications, from heart issues to brain fog to headaches. Some fairly severe. Oddly, people I know from other parts of the country have had no such issues. I almost wonder if there aren't bad batches out there and because of the vax being holy and unable to be questioned, no one can assess whether or not it might be safe sometimes and unsafe others. There's also the stories of it not always coming out in the same potency, but gee, it'd be nice if someone would just listen rather than mandate a vaccine that now has 75 years of FOIA protection. |

Sure, they won't have the Federal weapons, equipment, and budget, but I have to imagine a state as big as Texas, which was once it's own republic, could find a way to put those soldiers to use. It would require legislation, I'm sure. I doubt the Governor could do it by decree. But if the legislature wanted to do so, I'm sure they could do it. They could probably also require or authorize them to complete their service in the TX SG (basically, they'd get transferred at the State level instead of discharged, and their discharge would only be for Federal purposes). States have generally been unwilling to properly equip their militias, and most are not armed at all. Even some of the armed ones have been disarmed over the last decade or so. Not sure what Texas's laws do in this respect. Much easier to allow the NG to be the only combat arms oriented State force and have them get mostly Federally funded. It'd be awesome if they would, though, to include having aviation, arty, armor, etc. It's Texas's right as a State to do so. Under current Federal law, State militias also cannot be federalized for any reason (Constitution allows it for three reasons, but requires authorizing legislation). |

Probably none unless there is some kind of contractual restriction with the Feds for stuff with advanced technologies. Importing? It would be dependent upon what Federal import laws permit in this context. There may or may not be more leeway for State governments, but I don't really know. |

They're only paid during SAD, as many are now. If Texas is going to maintain its current force levels, then significant state funding in salaries, drill pay, equipment and weapons will have to be provided by the legislature. Most unvaxed troops will take their General under Honorable discharge and call it day. Some may move to the State Guard to stay on Operation Lonestar. |

Conversion into militia would likely also change the terms of everything; they'd get treated like current State Guard. Of course, for a State militia to be effective, they do need to get funded more for training, weapons, munitions, equipment, and manpower than is currently the case. This is something the legislature could deal with if it had the will. The problem is a lack of said will. I think the early Cold War era was the last time any States made any serious attempt to have a decent militia. |
