What Do We Say When the Soldiers Come?

Appeals to Guard member’s sense of ethics and morality can go a long way.

• Reminding folks of the moral bankruptcy of Trump. 

• The promise of acquiring honor and proud leadership by “defending their country” is a draw for many Guard members. Recruiters prey on this sense of duty in young people. 

• Reminding them that real leadership and honor comes in advancing opportunities for immigrants and those who are newly arrived in the country, not suppressing these opportunities through fear and terror like Trump is hoping they will.
