Breaking News: National Guard Deployments Under Fire After Deadly Attack on West Virginia Troops
A deadly attack on two West Virginia National Guard members has sparked outrage and raised questions about the deployment of troops. SSgt Andrew Wolfe, a member of the West Virginia Air National Guard, was shot on November 26 near the White House in Washington D.C. by an Afghan refugee who had previously worked with the US military and CIA in Afghanistan.
The attack has left the community reeling, with many West Virginians questioning the deployment of their National Guard members. The state has one of the country's highest per-capita populations of veterans, and service in the military has long been seen as a patriotic duty and economic lifeline.
