Uhhhhh genuinely don’t know how the fuck this is even possible. Basically acting as mercenaries at this point :amerikkka:
lmao, we’ve always said the US armed forces are for hire, but this it taking the piss
It’s wild on so many levels, I also didn’t even know national guards can go to other states unless it’s an emergency disaster relief shit.
Eh, it wasn’t until the Spanish-American War that things got off the ground. The US government used to disband most of the army after a war. The US Navy was frequently put in the position of having to purchase merchant ships and put cannons on them when a war broke out. And Congress would barely give them any money.
Not any more! WWI and especially WWII took care of that permanently.
vague memory like there was some late Roman equivalent of this happening
Late Republican Rome, bay-bee
best american traditions at work
I didn’t know you can crowdfund military operations.
