People keep talking about "Federalizing the National Guard" and now you've got other States pledging their NG to Texas in defiance of the Supreme Court (see image).

P.S. I'm a Brit

This shit needs to stop. As a Texan (by force...) I'd absolutely be joining the feds to fight against Texas.

Holy dog shit! Texas?! Only steers and queers come from Texas, Private Cowboy! And you don't look much like a steer to me so that kinda narrows it down. Do you suck dicks?

I think it’s from the boot camp scenes in the movie Full Metal Jacket.

No I know it was just a really weird time to try and use that line. I can only assume they were trying to be funny while the guy prior was coming to terms with the peril of being a Texan right now.

No better time to make a joke than when times are dark!

Agree. Weird timing

It absolutely is. Sgt. R Lee Ermy was a master at comedy

He's quoting Full Metal Jacket.
