'The Governor of one of the 50 states ordered his national guard forces to “monitor” the U.S. Military to insure they are not planning to turn Texas into Nazi Germany. This is, by the way, the same U.S. Military which has 15 bases in the state of Texas.'

My suspicion (and I can't believe I'm making a charitable assumption about Abbott) is that he's doing it to prevent some idiot with a gun from killing US military personnel.

I won't be as charitable. I think he's simply pandering to the zany wing and "looking strong" against the Federales.
