If a judge rules the guardsman were deployed illegally, do their employers still need to respect the time they took off

[SSJVegeta]

Or could they legally be fired?

1. What employer is going to fire them for being called up?

Especially with the vengeful lunatic in the White House.

[SSJVegeta]

2. Employers have always hated when soldiers go on orders and genrally relucantly allow it because its the law

If they were illegally deployed, those protections could potentially be void, right?

[Polybius]

8. No

Because no one knew it at the time.

[SSJVegeta]

9. Also they are protected by the USERRA.

So they probably will be fine, which is good. I wouldn't be surprised if some employers will try to mess with them, though.

3. Yeah, fuck the troops for their commanders mistakes. Nothing new.

4. Would hate to be a Guardsman looking for a job under trump. Christ, they could be called up for 4 years

to fight those trump perceives as opposition. Might even be a spy for trump.

I suspect the Guard leans right, just like regular Army. Though there a plenty who don’t too. Pew says military is 60% right leaning. Maybe NG is a bit less, but wouldn’t count on it.

5. As a former CAARNG, this hits home. All im worried about right now is that everybody is safe.

They absolutely do lean right. But probably not as much as regular army. I had a lot of like minded battle buddies there.

6. Yes, Safety. So far, I haven't seen NG actively engaging protesters, though they are standing in front

front of Federal Buildings. Hopefully, it’ll stay that way.

CNN anchor was there and commented on how young NG members looked and they were really nervous. That’s a good sign I think. I’ve known some white wing old guys who’d shoot if someone popped a balloon, and not give a chit about it.

7. Why not fire the people who gave the illegal orders?

Why let them slide?
