When do we get to the point where our military says NO WE WILL NOT???? Can it be now please?

Any military that are actively down there in CA are dishonoring our country. Disgraceful! What is more important


doing what is right and standing up to dictatorship as the constitution says you should, or sucking an old fucks crusty dick???

If there is at least one national guard who has family in the LA area, you are acting hostile to a fellow guards family. The president of the United States doesn't give a fuck about you, or your brothers or their family. Do the right thing.

Enjoy the floor, Nazi fuckers. You deserve to sleep in a place much much lower than that

Stop paying taxes. Let miller figure out how to pay for his stupid ideas for his stupid military.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

The entire extent of the planning is "Troops go in. Troops shoot protesters."

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

It's very easy to just tell them to get a hotel and they'll be reimbursed or just bulk order all the rooms in a couple hotels. The national guard troops along the border in their pretend mission do that, they all just stay at a hotel.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 9 hours ago

Multiple hotels have yold them to go fuck themselves.

I imagine they all have some idea what the people of the city will do to them if they quarter the enemy.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 15 hours ago

I'd imagine they get a lot more notice though.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

This is not only incorrect, it is just plain unfair...
They are supposed to shoot TV reporters too. And, well, anybody really. Not just protesters.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think the ones doing that were LAPD.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

The army tends to have much better discipline.

Not always, but certainly compared to American police, who don't seem to have any.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

army has better discipline

Yeah. Bar is so deep it's frozen, but yeah.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago

TACO at it again!

In before "We are asking all patriotic Americans to open their homes to our brave soldiers restoring order to the unlawful Democrat hellhole that is Los Angeles!"

https://constitution.congress.gov/constitution/amendment-3/

Third Amendment

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

Congress will declare a war on liberals. Honestly the founding fathers left that one way too open ended.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 hours ago

It's like Trump broke all the ten commandments and now he's trying to break all the Amendments.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 hours ago

Aaahhww, you still believe trump would care about the constitution? He's wiped his ass with that more times than I care to remember

[–] [email protected] 30 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

honestly if trump violated the fucking third amendment I'd be kind of impressed. at this point which amendment in the bill of rights hasn't he violated?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

Maybe the 7th?

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 day ago

To be fair, asking for civilians to help place them isn't a Constitutional violation, forcing them to do so is.

Either way it's ridiculous and already well past the line of bullshit, bit that wouldn't be a crime at all.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

Don't care. Name and shame every one of these people following illegal orders, at the very least.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 9 hours ago

And anyone who offers them a bed or a meal.

Unless that meal is poorly prepared and they get sick.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 20 hours ago (2 children)

“Go stand around” is much different than “shoot to kill”

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Unconstitutional is unconstitutional. There is no grey area here.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 7 hours ago

Doesn't matter. They shouldn't be there at all.

[–] [email protected] 108 points 1 day ago (4 children)

Hmm, so the felon in charge is making nat.guard into unhoused persons. smh.

[–] [email protected] 68 points 1 day ago (2 children)

A lot of these guys are being pulled from full time jobs and they don't get paid very much as a national guardsman anyway. This is horrible what they're doing to them too.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

They are not getting paid anything in this case. Usually they get paid by the state when doing work there, but since they were federalized they are under federal juridistion now and won't get paid by the state for deployment. And Trump isn't providing federal funds, hence them sleeping on the floor, having to pay for food themselves, using their own equipment.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 6 hours ago

That’s simply not true. They get payed the same rate as an active duty soldier while federalized, based on their rank and service time. The sleeping on the floor of the ICE detention center is because there is not a space for them in the city.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 12 hours ago

These are mostly teenagers living on the edge anyway, or they wouldn't be in the National Guard. This is so not cool.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

That could work to our advantage. Piss them off enough until they lay down arms and walk off the job.

Three tenets to live by:

  1. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s wallet
  2. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s family
  3. Don’t fuck with a (wo)man’s food

~Edit: in my defense, I just finished watching David Tenant be the 10th Doctor, and the speeling is stuck in my head.~

"tenets" ... I thought you were giving me housing advice.

There's a running joke in the military that field exercises train you for when you separate and become homeless.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

I was wondering how he was going to speed run the bill of rights but I think I see the path now.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 20 hours ago

he is planning to do this in his parade too.

[–] [email protected] 75 points 1 day ago (1 children)

nah that's just how soldiers are, they grab sacktime on any surface, great reason not to help quarter them

the problem is that they deployed soldiers against civilians in a US city

[–] [email protected] 17 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Yeah this isn't that bad. When I was in the Marines you catch sleep where ever or when ever you can. I've slept on so many different floors and types of ground. You get used to it honestly.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 7 hours ago

Ive met airmen who can sleep standing up, its genuinely impressive.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (6 children)

Looking at traffic and road closures on Maps, 2000 NG are mobilized to watch a few miles of freeway going into the city. The protests are only blocking one side of the freeway and anyone can leave. What a massive over reaction.

And those troops are sleeping on floors and have no bathrooms. Imagine having to crush the liberty of your fellow neighbor while being unable to take a shit in a toilet.

Salute them for their service.

[–] [email protected] 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Same thing happened when they were finally sent to defend the Capitol on Jan 6th.

Also remember when Trump called them up and pulled them away from their families for Thanksgiving so he could fearmonger that migrant caravan full of women and children?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup, exactly what I thought of. Concrete parking garage in winter. Without food. Remember a few Democrat politicians would buy pizza for the service members because Trump didn't care about them?

Trump has so little regard for service members.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

Didn't he say those that got shot or crippled are losers?

[–] bookmeat 16 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Fuck those guys for following orders violating the Constitution.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

Yup. 2000 more people for the jail cell imo—or the grave.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

The billionaires have us at each others' throats.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 20 hours ago

trump never considered soldiers people.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago

You know that parking deck or whatever they’re all sleeping in smells like farts and piss by now.

I remember seeing a similar photo/story of the CBP reinforcements deployed to Portland OR back during the height of the BLM protests.
