As a Veteran, I would like to make a request. If you have the National Guard in your city, please donβt harass the troops. They donβt want to be doing any of this. And, we need them on our side.

As a veteran I think you're wrong
They should not be engaged as an enemy, but as fellow citizens who have to endure the madness thrust upon them by a dying, feeble-minded commander in chief.
Well tell them troops to not follow the orange turd cuz he's a criminal he's a liable sexual abuse 34 count of fraud my cousin died serving this country in the uniform and she would be embarrassed to see what they're doing
I don't want to harass them, I just want to ask them what the fuck their problem is.
What part of DC do you live in?
Great point!
What makes you think they are βon our sideβ?
If they truly don't want to be doing this, they have the right, no, in fact the duty to refuse to obey unlawful orders. Their oath is to the Constitution, not the fake president. Or, they can delist while we have a dictator wannabe in the WH and re-enlist once the fascist regime is obliterated.
Agreed, Deb. The NG are not there by choice and are only following "legal" orders insofar as they "have to". They are not ICE and are not there for "fun".
Very good request. The Guard is legit and disciplined. It is not ICE, Border Patrol, or any of the other self-appointed phony militia gangs.
I agree. Unlike ICE, they didn't sign up for this.
They are not "on our side" if they accept orders that include harassing citizens. And occupying our peaceful cities in support of a despot IS a form of harassment.
Someone here commented that they are "not deployed, it is a 'presence patrol'." Exactly. Their presence is meant to intimidate and to put Americans on notice that we are going to be treated as the enemies of this regime unless we cower and grovel like his lickspittle cabinet.
We spent the day on Sunday chatting with several troops. They are not getting harassed on the Mall. They also said they are not deployed, this is a presence patrol. We learned a lot from the conversation. No photos, no recordings, just people talking to each other.
