Troops And Marines Deeply Troubled By L.A. Deployment; "Morale Is Not Great"

[martybegan]

President Trump and members of the Trump administration have repeatedly and publicly declared that a takeover of the National Guard would be illegal.

Here’s the evidence​

President Trump in 2020 regarding protests in Portland: “We have to go by the laws. We can’t move in the National Guard. I can call insurrection but there’s no reason to ever do that, even in a Portland case, we can’t call in the National Guard, unless we are requested by a Governor.”

Well he's learned his lesson.

He got bad advice in 2020, now he's getting better advice.

 

[Man With A Plan]

Trump ran on Cheap Gas and Cheap Eggs, Snidely, and more people voted against him than for him.

How do you figure? Trump won the popular vote. Duh?

 

[Man With A Plan]

Making our armed forces an enemy against citizens for political show or for most any reason, is just plain wrong, and illegal.

The only "enemy" those armed forces will be is to violent agitators and looters! The public overwhelmingly supports using force against those people. This is yet another losing stand that you on left have taken, Care! You've once again underlined that you care more for violent illegals and looters than you do law abiding citizens and business owners.

Geez Marty, screw your head back on. IT WAS ILLEGAL for Trump to do what he did without the GOVERNOR.

No, it isn't.

Did you actually read Title 10?

If federal law enforcement can't perform its duties, title 10 allows for the use of the guard and other military branches to provide assistance.

Right now all they are doing is backing up ICE so ICE can do its Legally mandated job.

It would be a very bad look if a Marine or Guardsman shot a civilian. Their commanders understand this, which is why it will be avoided.

But all it takes is one idiot who just got live rounds for the first time outside a range.

/----/ "It would be a very bad look if a Marine or Guardsman shot a civilian. "
democRATs are looking for the next George Floyd they can canonize. BTW, the Marines have no ammo.

Another one of those unverified anonymous reports.

They're being deployed from Twentynine Palms....Being sent to a riot zone is an upgrade in living conditions.

 

[Care4all]

FEW my ass. Stop that, it's fucking embarrassing. The guard has ALWAYS had a role in handling civil unrest.

The president can federalize the guard, and this was the right move because the LOCAL law enforcement refuses to come to the aid of federal law enforcement, over POLITCS.

Not small.

Did the President call the governor and tell him he was going to inject himself in to the situation and federalize the State's National guard?

One guy who's no longer on active duty.

Like Hegseth?

Like Bone Spur?

Oh wait...

Also this: Once a Marine, always a Marine, dipshit.

 

[g5000]

California national guards troops and marines deployed to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against the Trump administration have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join.

That farce by Taco Man at Fort Liberty fooled nobody.

Pawns.

Nailed it.

Somebody's cousin's manicurist's letter carrier's chiropractor said so.

If you had ever served, you would know active duty service members are not allowed to speak publicly about political matters unless it is in their job description.

The pawns in L.A. have no such job description.

But there is nothing to stop their family members and friends speaking for them.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

Right, you voted for him to rat-fuck the country.

Because clearly, the fact that the last time he brought us plague, riots and recession had no effect on you.

Now, Measles are back
We have riots in LA
and the country is sinking into recession again.

Good job with that ratfucking.

That's what the Biden handlers left for Trump to fix. Although inflation is falling.

 

[EvilCat Breath]

One more thread on how disappointed democrats are that Los Angeles didn't burn.

I'm a retired veteran, dipshit. 20+ years, which is a lot longer than Alcoholic Hegseth served.

If martybegan served, then he knows damned well active duty personnel are not allowed to speak to the media about political matters.

He also just disrespected a Marine. So fuck him.

The deterioration started when President Clinton ordered the Marines to stop wearing dress blues and start wearing blue dresses.

They should be troubled, it’s an illegal, unwarranted deployment – an attack on the people of California.

You're a fucking civilian whooshing out of your ass.
