  White Guard (Finland) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
These White Guards constituted the bulk of the victorious White Army during the Civil War in Finland (1918), and also the main forces of the Lapua Movement's failed coup d'état, the Mäntsälä Rebellion (1932).
In reality, German troops had made a necessary contribution to the Whites' victory, but for the sake of National Pride, it was important to stress the importance of the White Guards, the basis of the White Army, and of the Finnish Jaegers, the Army's elite.
In Winter War members of the Guard provided the fourth of the manpower of the field army, the contribution made more important as they were the best trained and equipped personnel as they had had to purchase their own rifle and overcoat during their membership of the Guard.

 White movement - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Second, the word "white" had monarchist associations: historically each Russian Tsar was solemnly called the white tsar, and the monarchist ideal during the civil war was known as the white idea.
The White Army, in intermittent collaboration with interventionist forces from outside Russia (Japanese, British, Canadian, French, American) held sway in some areas (especially Siberia, Ukraine and the Crimea) for periods of time and put considerable bodies of troops into the field.
Monarchist tendencies were strongest amidst the veterans of the White movement, republicanism was rarer (the latter reemerged during the Russian Liberation Movement).

AP asked whether Bush ever participated in a disciplinary process during his Guard service, whether he ever received a critical report or was ever present for a conversation in which his performance, conduct or physical condition were raised by a superior officer.

 Guardian Unlimited Books | By genre | James Meek rereads Bulgakov's The White Guard
The effect of reading The White Guard wasn't the only reason I left my job in Edinburgh in 1991 and moved to Kiev, but it was part of the reason.
It's not a contradiction; The White Guard portrays middle-class Kiev in 1918, accurately, as a Russian-speaking island surrounded by a sea of rebellious Ukrainian peasantry.
In the civil war between the collapsing Russian empire's Reds and Whites they are White, monarchists, on the side of the executed Tsar against the Bolshevik menace in the north.

 Bush fulfilled his Guard duty, White House says
But the records, which the White House obtained from blurry 30-year-old microfiche files in Colorado, only show the specific days in 1972 and 1973, 72 in all, that Bush was paid for his service.
Guard officials said Tuesday that it's possible to have as many missed dates as Bush did and make them up, as long as a member talks over the absences with his or her commander.
Guard members also say it was possible to be paid in 1972 and 1973 without actually turning up for the service dates because of relaxed record-keeping at the time.

Mannerheim, the Whites' military leader, was a professional soldier who was experienced in conducting large-scale operations, and his strategic judgment guided the White cause almost flawlessly.
The Red Guards suffered from several major disadvantages: poor leadership, training, and equipment; food shortages; the practice of electing officers democratically, which made discipline lax; and the general unwillingness of the Red troops to go on offensive operations or even to operate outside their local areas.
The Red Terror confirmed the belief of the Whites that the Reds were criminals and traitors and were therefore not entitled to the protection of the rules of war.

The guards describe a frightening atmosphere where white officers refer to fls as "coons" and worse; where minority inmates are targeted for beatings; where fl officers receive threats; and where white guards feel comfortable enough to brag in front of other employees of membership in hate groups like the KKK.
Kevin Waller and Larry Harris, along with white officer Jeannette Hawkes, say that white supremacist beliefs are alive and well at the institution and that racist behavior has made it almost impossible to succeed in performing their jobs.
