>While critics pointed out how unprecedented and worrisome this was, on Instagram, the military units at the grim epicenters of these political controversies have been busily posting a very different reality. After the Georgia National Guard was ordered to send fresh troops to D.C., it published a cheery post with no mention of its new mission. Instead, it offered two pictures of new recruits with the caption:
>🚨 NEW SOLDIER ALERT! 🚨 Congratulations to the newest warriors joining the Georgia Army National Guard! 💪🇺🇸 Welcome to the team—your journey of service, strength, and success starts now. Let’s give them a big Guard family welcome! 🎉👏
Like, what are they supposed to do? Post something serious about the deployment, treating it like a wartime deployment? Criticize the government and get fired immediately?
They’re social media pages, the entire point is just to advertise the military to the public. This is the same stuff they’ve always been posting.
