The National Guard is getting some bad press.  This is not the National Guard's fault though.  The Guard has a long, storied history in America, and this episode shares some of the highlights (and a low light too).  It also compares President Trump's use of the National Guard to other Presidents in history.

Spoiler Alert: it doesn't do Trump any favors.
