National Guard troops in D.C. will now carry weapons and perform law enforcement duties. Normally barred from policing under federal law, the legality is extremely questionable... especially given that the justification doesn’t align with the facts. abcnews.go.com/Politics/def...

Remember this? On May 4, 1970, members of the Ohio National Guard fired into a crowd of Kent State University demonstrators, killing four and wounding nine Kent State students one sustained permanent paralysis. Dictator Donny wants to see more killing again to scare citizens into submission.

Its worse than that though. Hegseth had the Guard troops screened to find the "true believers" and had them sworn in as US Marshall's, so he now has the foundation for his own Stasi. They will not hesitate to murder citizens in the streets

Well, the second amendment gives us the right to bear arms… I guess it’s gonna get a lot worse before it gets better.

Looks like the US is now a Nazi state like Germany during World War II

Hegseths handlers figured out a loop hole for the National Guard brandishing weapons against citizens, though, he screened them for true believers and then had had his Stasi sworn in as US Marshall's. They're actually going to start shooting people in the streets

I really wish we knew more about any military resistance, conscientious objectors, or leadership pushing back. Even retired generals' opinions.

I suggest they consult the British army re military for policing … the Brit’s tried it, most recently in the northern part of Ireland … most agree it was a failure, I have met several who were part of it and have ptsd as a result. Ps, is it policing or law enforcement … policing requires a brain.
