While in the National Guard I was called out twice for Civil Disturbances.
We were issued M16's, and 16-Round Magazines, but NO CARTRIDGES. None.
Now I understand they didn't want another "Kent State", but WTF ?
We had no armor, no shields - just crummy metal helmets (most lacked a liner).
If any shots were fired at us, our formation would, I believe, have simply collapsed.
So how will our Troops stop the Caravan ?
Shoo Them Away ?
