The Old Guard (known as the Consular Guard before Napoleon's coronation) was a part of Napoleon I's Imperial Guard and the most respected military foundation in the Grand Army. Famously, its members were equipped with bearksins hats and contained 2 regiments each of Foot Chasseurs and Grenadiers. They were usually kept in reserve as elite shock troops and rarely used unless to recover a dire situation or to deliver a decisive blow in battle.

Always Ready. Always There.
Citizen Soldiers typically drill once a month and receive full tuition waived at New Hampshire State Schools. We're Doctors, Nurses, teachers, students, firefighters, police officers, state troopers, college professors, coaches, plumbers, contractors, business owners, journalists, etc. We're people who have important jobs in our communities who have decided that we ALSO want to stay fully qualified in a SECOND career to serve our country. We have given up our time with our families and time off from our civilian careers for training and drills. We somehow manage to do two things very successfully. And we think that's pretty "cool".

Dude, that New Hampshire Army National Guard soldier is literally getting paid to go to college. They must be their parents favorite child.

I say. Last night at the orgy Andrew yelled that it was time for a changing of the guard. I thought it a wee bit tacky.
The command was tacky, or the condom?

Yeah didn't anyone say anything about Donald Trump sending in the national guard before it happened? Like, the reporting on the protest and the guard happened at the same time.
Hym "I can think about whatever the fuck I want and you are going to get someone's kid murdered if someone doesn't stop you. The National Guard need to start hunting down the freaks doing this to me starting with the new MeidasTouch freaks put them in a gas chamber. And then work their way backwards down the list."
