3. Lives are on hold, jobs at risk....

Leys not forget the impact to the guard soldiers. These arent full time soldiers.

NG troops live normal lives, go to work, have families, and go to training one weekend a month.

Now they are stuck away from work and family. Some will lose jobs even though that is illegal. Some will end up in financial strsights.

Sure, they signed up for the possibility of deployment, but there is a big difference between national disaster or national security issues and being props.

Dont treat people like this.
