This is in response to Donold Trump and Pete Hogsbreath calling out the Marines to invade Los Angeles in the face of anti-ICE and anti-Trump rallies and protests. I will leave the National Guard call up for later.
First, yes there is some violence around the periphery of the LA protests. Miscreants are always going to use mass protests as cover for vandalism, setting fires, and looting retail stores. But both the mayor of Los Angeles and the governor of California say local law enforcement can handle it. And they can.
But why call out the Marines? Intimidation. Because General Bone Spurs can? For certain.
Well, the Marines are not trained or equipped to confront civilian unrest. They spend months learning to be Marines. The few, the proud, the Marines. The front line of America's defense forces. One of the organizations that keeps America Great, if you want to follow that line. And they continue to train as a prime fighting force. They are not a police force.
To use them for anything other than their intended purpose, is totally disrespectful to our Marines. Send them back to their posts and let them continue to be ready for a hopefully never gonna happen conflict.
