Former President Trump encouraged “all willing States” to deploy National Guard members to Texas amid the feud between Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) and the federal government over the removal of razor wire across the U.S.-Mexico border.

On Tuesday, the Texas National Guard appeared to ignore a Supreme Court decision approving the removal of the razor wire barriers, and continued construction along the border.

A few questions:

- Hasn't the active-duty military been shipping ordinance, ammunition, and hardware to Ukraine and more recently Israel to the point where it lacks the resources to train its personnel?
- How exactly do Army National Guard units plan to effectively combat border crossings with an inventory unlikely to receive active-duty branch support?
- Has this mobilization in any way left the families of those National Guard units back home vulnerable to retaliation from migrant foreigners already in the country?

I think the word you may be looking for is "martyrs".
