[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=jsteele][quote=Anonymous]Hang on - Obama is still CINC.

Only Obama could have issued this order.

Question is:  why is Obama doing this and why time it like this?[/quote]

Obama did not issue the order. The order takes effect after Obama is out of power. So the question is why is Trump doing this?[/quote]

I don't think he is targeting the DC National Guard.  He is getting rid of all political appointees in one fell swoop, rather than the nuanced approach of previous administrations.  It easier for [i]him[/i] to say- everyone out- than to figure out who should stay for a bit for a smoother transitions.  We will just have acting directors or whatever, all over the Federal Government.    Not so bad to have career personal in charge of things for a bit.  [/quote]I think the Trump transition team is doing this because they have no idea the role the DC National Guard plays in the inauguration.  They're just making everyone quit ASAP and they're too stupid to figure out that this guy will be in the middle of protecting them.[/quote]

+1. Idiots. And for everyone who says they do nothing except stand guard on the parade route. Not true. Crowd control for one (unless you think that the Trumpkins will just peacefully pass protestors by, given their tracj record). Also Schwartz is in charge of coordinating air defense over D.C. ( you know, foldpks not fling planes into the capital during the inauguration). So yes, unimportant stuff. [/quote]
