You’re right but I’ll make an exception, didn’t make that up, wish I could search the local news archives, I saw it, and it was laughable
ETA: will stipulate that the local station may have misused the term deployment for weekend drill, but deployment was the buzzword for the story
Not sure why you’re laughing at National Guard guys for Desert Storm. Like I said above, I was there (active duty army) and I remember specifically it was a national guard MLRS artillery unit that laid down support fire for us during the ground war. They didn’t just “shovel shite in Louisiana” as you seem to think. They were right there with the rest of us.

Not laughing at the guard Darth, pretty familiar with that too, was laughing at the story, a guard unit was going away for the weekend and because the gulf war had begun, the local news was playing it up like they were going to war, and with all of the families out there treating it as such just struck me as funny, I’d already been in the area a couple of times by then
