Stupid orders and illegal orders are not always the same. The national guard are not breaking any laws. Their commanders (state governors) sent them to DC. They are being misused as pawns for a draft-dodging rapist pedophile #trumpepstein and the MAGAt cult.
That's not going to stop me calling them fascists.
The soldiers aren’t fascists. They weren’t fascists on January 19 and they aren’t fascists now. But hey. Be loud wrong. It’s still a free country.
They can stop being soldiers.
Why would they? They haven’t been asked to do anything illegal (yet). Walking around bored isn’t illegal. Picking up trash isn’t illegal. Guarding federal property isn’t illegal. Why would you want good people to leave the military? Then only the MAGAts have the power. Think it through
What part of DC do you live in?
I don’t. Irrelevant.
Then you don't understand the climate of fear here. I am *afraid* to take the Metro because of this.
Ok. You control how you feel. I’m talking about national guard soldiers in the whole. These are not ICE Gestapo. Seeing how I cannot control anyone’s actions, I can only 99.99% guarantee those soldiers don’t want to be there & aren’t looking to start shit with civilians. Remember, they’re …
Civilians 3 out of 4 weekends per month and 11 out of 12 months (or whatever their individual duty schedule happens to be). Try to be sympathetic to them. Say hello. They signed up to serve and maybe get college money. They are being abused by their commanders (Governors or #trumpepstein).
I’ll make a prediction I hope never to learn if true: When the shit hits the fan, the military will be with the us, the good guys, and not the fascist MAGAts like ICE. I’m a vet. The culture in the military is NOT the same as police. We don’t want to control American civilians. We want to chill
