A has a bee in her bonnet about the helicopters not in Oregon, and the clickbaitability of the story. La Fool explores how the National Guard makes decisions to move personnel and equipment, and the role of the Federal government in deployments and emergencies. Somewhere along the way La Fool and A find themselves asking the tough questions: Is the great experiment over? Is the government still able to serve the people? Can the people ever agree again? Is the United States just too big? Give us your thoughts on Facebook.
