[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Didn't he want a private army? Wasn't there something a couple of years ago that he thought he should have troops who answered only to him?

No.  Stop spreading idiotic rumors.  You are part of the problem.

States have the power to create defense forces separate from the national guard, though not all of them use it. If Florida moves ahead with DeSantis’ plan to reestablish the civilian force, [b]it would become the 23rd active state guard in the country[/b], DeSantis’ office said in a press release, joining California, Texas and New York. These guards are little-known auxiliary forces with origins dating back to the advent of state militias in the 18th century. While states and the Department of Defense share control of the National Guard, state guards are solely in the power of a governor.
