His own private army?

Doesn't sound like it is going according to plan...good!

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis has sought to recreate the Florida State Guard, a World War II-era volunteer force intended to supplement the state's National Guard for non-military missions like emergencies and natural disasters.

But according to the Miami Herald, droves of veterans who were brought in for training quickly quit — because they realized they were being given purely military training, for a force that looked like it would have a military mission.

"Over 30 days in June, teenagers out of high school and retired military veterans came to Camp Blanding, the National Guard base near Jacksonville. Many were told they would volunteer for a revived State Guard with a non-military mission: help Floridians in times of need or disaster," reported Lawrence Mower, Emma Rose Brown, and Ana Ceballos. However, when they arrived, "the state’s National Guard trained the volunteers for combat. Khakis and polos were replaced by camouflaged uniforms. Volunteers assured they could keep their facial hair were ordered to shave. And they were drilled on how to rappel with ropes, navigate through the woods and respond to incidents under military command."

This comes after experts previously raised alarms that DeSantis could effectively be creating his own private army. The legislature disregarded those fears, giving DeSantis 400 volunteers and a $10 million budget for his project.
