West Virginia’s National Guard: When 300 Soldiers Just Won't Cut It
In a display of mass deployment bravado, West Virginia announced it was sending 300 to 400 Guard troops, while South Carolina pled the modest lamb with 200 and Ohio tagged along with 150. This federal intervention escalation has all the subtlety of a toddler armed with a firehose. As the states rally troops with all the enthusiasm of an impromptu block party fight, it’s clear no one wants to be the one with fewer soldiers. West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio are busy turning military logistics into a highly competitive sport.
