Jesse brings up a point most other politicians wouldn't dare say. Why was the National Guard deployed? I never joined the military but I did speak with recruiters in my teen years and when you sign up for the Military you do get to pick your branch. If you pick National Guard you understand you're a domestic soldier. Aka you understand you probably wont see real combat and that's a perfectly okay choice. You still served your country. Tim did not sign up to go fight overseas. Period.

[@richardvernon317]

Tim did sign up to go where he was told!! I suspect he did quite a few trips to Europe in the 1970's and 1980's as NG units were embarked for training exercises in case WWIII kicked off and they had to deploy. He actually left the Army before his unit got their warning order that they were going to Iraq.

[@Skzzlemister]

I had no idea that Ventura tried to unionize wrestlers. Amazing

[@Fix_It_Again_Tony]

Yeah, that is super interesting because it's been somewhat of an open secret for years that McMahon treated his talent poorly. Wrestlers are independent contractors who get no health benefits. They literally put their bodies on the line every performance and when they are arthritic and and their brains riddled with CTE, the WWE just finds "new meat". Naturally there are also no retirement benefits. Despite being independent contractors wrestlers are limited by the WWE from engaging in activities that may help supplement their incomes like streaming on Twitch and likely other forms of promotion on social media. So the people at the top of the WWE were raking in the cash, and McMahon monetarily rewarded Hulk Hogan for his loyalty, but pay dropped off steeply from there with many not knowing day to day whether they would have a job or not. They were required to provide their own transportation to the events, with many occurring in foreign countries. Imagine if the NFL or MLB required players to pay for their own flights. Of course many of these payers get paid very, very well, but that's because of their unions. It's a perfect example of why a union is needed: Immense pay and power disparities between management and workers, plus severe health risks inherent in the job for workers without any kind of protections for them and the lack of the ability of workers to have any say in their careers.

Thank you Jesse Ventura for sharing about the National Guard. I had heard about them but didn't study them when in school. I remember them coming out in number when the riots were happening in Miami, but I didn't understand that they were supposed to only operate within the nation. That was an eye opener to learn that the national guard was deployed into combat by Bush and Chaney by executive order because it would have been political suicide for them to bring back the draft.

My Dad was a Command Master Chief (E-9) in the Navy for 32 years. He never was in a combat zone, but being stationed on aircraft carriers comes with some risk.

After he came out (with freshly washed hands) he asked me if I would be kind enough to introduce him to one of my coworkers. "I'll check with him." and went to his dressing room and informed him that Governor Jesse Ventura was wondering if you have the time for a brief meeting in the hall... Then I introduced them... "Governor Jesse Ventura... Patrick Stewart, Patrick Stewart... Governor Jesse Ventura... Yep, well that just happened..." then I excused myself to let the two talk in relative peace.

[@richardvernon317]

Normally they are not, but a lot of plans in most Military's like the UK and US involve Reservists and the Weekend Warriors (NG (US) and TA (UK) being involved in overseas wars. There are basically two types of war a Country can fight, General (USA and Allies toe to toe with the Commies in WWIII would be example) or Limited (Vietnam / Iraq / Afghanistan). In the former the National Guard would be activated and during the Cold War, NG/ANG units did deploy the Europe to train and do exercises as if a general war started they would be required to fight overseas. In the later, limited war, the NG would most likely back fill US based slots (however medical units and alike would deploy), However fighting in AFG and Iraq at the same time was stupid.
