I'm very familiar with how National Guard domestic response training events......and any national guard event that takes place in the public eye. Soldiers receive briefings that tell us to stick to the event that is taking place (he did that) and not answer anything to do with politics......and to refer any reporter that keeps asking questions outside the scope of the operation at hand to speak to the public affairs officer. This CW4 did all of those things. Now.......I'll state that this particular CW4 acted professionally and responsibly according to his ORDERS! For you guys out there that have never served you need to realize that if he had answered political questions or discussed anything other than the operation he was taking part in WHILE IN UNIFORM his career would be over. Now to go deeper.....he is a CW4 aviation liason......now while the rank of CW4 is VERY respectable........he probably has zero......zero.....intelligence as to if the NH guard would be involved in gun confiscations. So if you watched this and started thinking he was avoiding questions because he knows some big friggin secret and is keeping it from the public......think again and cut him some slack as he Is a warrant officer and a soldier just following orders.
