Summary:The National Guard is being withdrawn from Chicago, Los Angeles, and Portland. It is claimed that the Guard's presence significantly reduced crime, and this presence was the sole reason for the improvement. The narrative asserts these cities would have been lost without federal intervention. A future return of federal forces, possibly in a stronger form, is predicted when crime is expected to rise again, which the post states is only a matter of time. The post expresses disbelief that allegedly incompetent Democrat Mayors and Governors would desire the Guard's departure, especially considering the claimed progress.
