West Virginiaās 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, itās 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.

West Virginia, South Carolina, and Ohio treating troop deployment like a schoolyard arm wrestling contest. 'Watch me send more soldiers than you!' Ah, the sweet glory of overkill.
When states send more Guard troops than a mid-size concert crowd, you know someone somewhere lost the memo that diplomacy exists.
