DeSantis Proposes New Civilian Military Force

“Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) wants to reestablish a World War II-era civilian military force that he, not the Pentagon, would control,” CNN reports.

“DeSantis pitched the idea Thursday as a way to further support the Florida National Guard during emergencies, like hurricanes. The Florida National Guard has also played a vital role during the pandemic in administering Covid-19 tests and distributing vaccines.”
