Deeply saddened
Would love to talk to you about your comment about the National Guard being deployed against Americans [LN volume 13, issue 34, Aug. 21-27, 2014]. As an honorably discharged American soldier and National Guardsman, I am deeply saddened by your comment. I think you need to check your facts a little further. They were never ever deployed against Americans and that is a fact!! What a disgraceful comment.

Editor’s Note: It is fact that the National Guard was deployed to the streets of Ferguson, Mo. Mr. Cheney contends the National Guard only protected the command structure. LN is investigating. Stay tuned.
