Functions assumed by national guardsmen in DC include cleaning latrines, collecting garbage and spreading mulch at the national parks... www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...

Worth reminding that all those NatGuard dudes have normal jobs they're pulled away from to do that bullshit, they probably aren't happy about it

Yeah, too bad Musk/Trump DOGE cut the budget for nat'l parks and fired the crew who were paid to do this work. We're living in the stupid upside down world of the demented orange king in which the National Guard is reduced to doing whatever the hell stupid stuff Trump comes up with.

truthfully tho, these *are* duties that the National Guard do in their local/state communities. the real loss (dignity aside) with this deployment is that our states no longer have their support and contributions. and the optics of the NG being trump's indentured servants is appalling.

#Trump has nothing but contempt for the U.S. military.

Fasten your seatbelts. It’s going to be a bumpy ride. @mirimg.bsky.social

This is not a proper use of the National Guard. So now he intends to use our troops to perform all the necessary maintenance duties of the federal workers who lost their jobs due to the recklessness of Musk and DOGE.

This is degrading work. Trump and his billionaires don't give a shit about the people they're using as props. These folks have jobs and families back home. Jobs that pay far more than they're currently earning when activated in many cases.
