Georgia Guardsmen Fight National Guard Pay Bill Clash
Georgia national guardsmen join peers from other states in opposition to a war department stance on a national guard pay bill. The measure would allot about 2 million dollars to pay guardsmen 20 to 26 percent of regular army rates, with added service conditions. Secretary Stimson argues the plan unconstitutional to deploy guard outside U S borders and urges funding go to the regular army instead. Guardsmen warn of political pushback and potential retaliation if the war department blocks progress.
