but the hostility and fear toward the National Guard is unwarranted. The Guard are in their uniforms and helmets because that is what they wear to work and their work right now is getting supplies to folks like Sofia and helping with cleanup. If you want peace and "another way," then you need to be open to the possibility that what happened last night can become the norm, rather than immediately expecting the worst. My experience in 20 years of military service is that people join to SERVE.
