Tim Sheehy Backs Bill to Prevent National Guardsmen Being Deployed to Fight in Foreign Wars

Sean Moran 14 Aug 2024

Montana Senate Republican candidate and former Navy SEAL Tim Sheehy endorsed the “Defend the Guard” movement, which would block National Guard units from being deployed into foreign wars unless Congress officially declares war, per the Constitution.

Sheehy told state Rep. Lee Deming (R), the sponsor of the Defend the Guard Act in Big Sky Country, that he “100 percent” backs the bill. Essentially, the bill will prohibit state National Guards from being sent to fight in foreign wars, unless Congress officially declares war.

In his explanation of why he backs the national Defend the Guard movement, Sheehy said that the Constitution only mandates a Navy and that during the Cold War the United States built up a “massive military industrial complex.”

Seventeen Techniques for Truth Suppression

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

They'll be more "Police Actions", "Humanitarian Relief Missions", "Peace Keeping Missions", "Special Authorizations", etc..

The last delcared war was WWII.  Everything since have been extra-Constitutional executive actions or congressional authorizations.

Peeps in DC don't get law degrees to follow the law; they get law degrees to find ways around the laws.

Laws are empty words on pieces of paper.  Appropriation bill "Frameworks" are empty pieces of paper that get filled in after they are passed.
