“Former” military.
The current military will obey the President in protecting US citizens being attacked by domestic terrorists.
It will destroy the morale of the military
More bullshit from USMBs foremost bullshiter.
Restoring order will do nothing but bolster morale.
About a third of the military is minorities. They will oppose taking arms against people protesting police brutality
Bullshit with your inane leftest conflation.
Protestors AREN'T arsonist, looters, theives, thugs and murderers.
Troops can stop the bad actors and protect the protesters rights.
Soldiers have HONOR. A CODE. It doesn't involve burning down innocent peoples property and beating innocent people.
Please quit while you are behind...you are insulting our soldiers, minority and otherwise, and embarrassing yourself.
And it's not about attacking US citizens either.
Morality. Ever hear it? Not from Trump so I guess the answer is no.
Sorry Man...when you're defending looter, arsonist, assaulters and murderers you've lost the moral highground. Restoring order is necessary. No one is forcing these criminal elements to rob, burn, beat and kill. They can have a choice. They can continue or they can stop. If they CHOOSE to continue and they are "attacked"...I guess that is the liberal word for the consequences lawlessness...it's their own fault.
Protesting peacefully...that is your right.
CIVIL disobedience...there are some consequences...maybe a night in jail...I get it.
Arson, rioting, beating innocent people, looting, killing? Expect to get "attacked". Deservedly.
Wrong. Not active military.
Make your case Brother. You know the National Guard and the Reserves train on the same posts in the same units for the same amount of time altogether with the Regular Army.
I started out as a National Guardsman. Went to Basic and AIT with the Regular Army. Would have done all the advanced training with them too...there is esentially no difference.
But I'm willing to hear you out...convince me.
Unfortunately "this is the talking point of the day from my leftest propaganda overlords" isn't going to cut it.
"A law called the Posse Comitatus Act prohibits the domestic use of military for law enforcement purposes without specific congressional authorization, said Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas Law School. But a different law, the Insurrection Act, provides the president authorization to do so under certain circumstances, he said."
If they train together or not makes no difference.
Soldier's Oath...sworn upon enlistment...
"I, _____, do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies,
foreign and domestic; that I will bear true faith and allegiance to the same; and that I will obey the orders of the President of the United States and the orders of the officers appointed over me, according to regulations and the Uniform Code of Military Justice. So help me God."
Emphasis added.
You think the people who have had there homes and businesses burned have had their Constitutional Rights violated?
You think the people fearful to leave their homes and fearful to stay in them have had their Constitutional Rights violated?
The very fabric of our society is under attack by arsonist and thugs.
Sometimes you need a big stick to restore order...and lucky for us we have one.
If the police are the problem...everyone should be happy to take them out of the loop and let the military handle it.
We know it is legal...it's been sone before...for rioting no less.
Ao you'll have to do better than that.
