If they're there to help haul stuff, transport National Guard, cook their chow, then it's not really a violation of the PC Act, is it?

(3,595 posts)Those tanks aren't going back to wherever they came from, and the National Guard and the Marines aren't going to be recalled from LA.
This is all to show the citizenry that if they don't cooperate, they could experience the same things.

(2,420 posts)TFG is looking for the biggest fight he can so that he can take full dictatorial control over the country. Thus the NG and the Marines. Also expect him to start supplementing these with "temporary" ICE personnel out of Blackwater, Eric Prince's mercenary company.
We are on the edge of a hot civil war at this point.
