No More National Guard feat. Davis Winkie

For this week’s free episode, Francis speaks with friend of the show and Army Times reporter Davis Winkie (@davis_winkie) about his recent news stories. In particular, they discuss an emerging court case that might remove federal control over the state units. It’s of course related to Texas Governor Gregg Abbott wanting the state of Texas to be able to ignore DoD immunization requirements. It’ll be years before this could wind up in the Supreme Court, but the consequences could be far-reaching… and very, very stupid.
