And civilian contractors training the military is 1000% normal.

No I am not a fan of the Fla governor, but this is just a hit piece.

Meatball's State Guard is a seperate force aside from the state's NG. The National Guard can be called up by the US military for national defense purposes. Ron's State Guard answers only to him. It was revived last year to respond to emergencies. So what "emergencies" would require troops with combat training?

But sure, go ahead and feed the machine!

Reads like a reporter adjusting the facts for a story. The non-NG element would have zero authority, think Blackwater. Even if he tried to use this company as his "private army" do you really believe the Florida NG, under a new governor, and the Fed Gov would just sit back a watch?

Yes, know what the National Guard is, and they not the Governor's personal troopers. The State Guard guys are NOT National Guard. The whole point of them is to have armed guys that are not subject to federal control. The National Guard people are trained to fill Army roles and do civil guard stuff. The State Guard are trained for just what missions, please tell me? To kill ANTIFA?

No, its not. From the link, Meatball Ron has revived the WW II era State Guard and they are being trained by this private Rambo company called Stronghold SOF solutions. So this endeavor by DeFascist has nothing to do with the Florida National Guard.

When you're that far in a hole you'll jump (sell your soul) in any lifeboat you see. Even if TFG is at the helm.
