Military General John Conley lies in attempt to Block Key Legislation Aimed at Preventing Unauthorized Overseas Deployment of US GuardsmenWhy do we have US National Guard deployed to keep peace between Israel and Egypt etc instead of protecting our homeland?Why do we have US National Guard deployed in the Middle East fighting ISIS instead of protecting our homeland? Shouldn’t the National Guard defend Americas first?In Arizona, currently Senate Bill 1495 (SB1495) in 2025, aims to limit the deployment of the state's National Guard to active combat roles unless Congress formally declares war or authorizes it for specific constitutional purposes (executing laws, suppressing insurrections, or repelling invasions). Introduced by Senator Wendy Rogers, it passed the Senate Military Affairs committee on February 17, 2025, and awaits a full Senate vote.SecDef Pete Hegseth himself has expressed this as a great idea he wants to see go through, but the military industrial complex don’t want that to happen.MJTruth
