    Is it normal to say 'you can deploy, and take all the guns,' so this is an emasculated order, or is it normal for the first stage to be 'you can deploy, but check with me before you take it to the next level'?

    (ETA - that WaPo link suggests it's not normal, but perhaps explained by reaction to criticism of the National Guard deployments last summer, compounded by cock-up. Or it could all just be part of a big conspiracy.)

  • I guess it looks a bit fake.
