INTERNAL DOCS: “National Guard, in measuring public sentiment about Trump’s federal takeover of D.C., has assessed its mission is perceived as “leveraging fear,” driving a “wedge between citizens and the military,” promoting “shame” among some troops…” www.washingtonpost.com/national-sec...
they should feel shame. a whole LOT of people need to feel shame again.
Uhh, no shit.
It is my hope that protestors anywhere understand that the Guard is obeying orders. Gov. Pritzker appealed to Chicagoans to remember that most of them are not occupying cities by choice. I do not envy any of them their mission.
Oh, poor things.
They are disgracing their uniforms.
Boo fucking hoo. I don't care that them doing fascism for fascists makes them sad. They have a choice and are choosing to be fascists. Fuck them and their faux sadness. They deserve to suffer more.
Sounds like people know exactly what's going on.
Yup 👇🏼
Sowing the seeds of distrust in all of our institutions is what fascism and authoritarians DO.
Yeah, they should be ashamed.
DC resident here. They stroll around my neighborhood wearing dark glasses and sidearms like they’re walking a beat. There is literally nothing for them to do.
I'm so glad they're ashamed
So will the DICKtator stop sending troops, while risking moral of his military, to democratic cities?? Nope! Full steam ahead until his own soldiers turn on him.
This should be seen as a good thing.
Trump must back down.
31-year military veteran here:
It is called performative fuckery.
Trvmp is fucking with the Guard. Fucking with DC. And, fucking with brown people.
Wasn’t that the mission?
Still waiting for just one general to say NO.
Glad we're using the money that was used for researching vaccines for something so mystifying
MAGA's never been big on logic.
Oh my, now MAGA will say the National Guard is "woke".
Americans ARE proving to the world how we the people ARE COWARDS. LOOK AT OUR TROOPS... WEAKLY FOLLOWING ILLEGAL ORDERS FROM A DICTATOR AND HIS TREASONOUS CO-CONSPIRITORS BECAUSEVTHEY ARE AFRAID TO OFFEND ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA.
The Supreme Court is corrupt and acting on behalf of the greatest international terrorist in modern history... Trump and his traitors all belong behind bars for life... if onky we would prosecute a portion of each of their crimes. Americans have A FAILED LEGAL SYSTEM... AMERICANS FAILED AT DEMOCRACY
So then, stop doing it.
No shit.
Seems to be a pretty fair assessment of the situation… 🤷🏼♂️
No shit... ya'll.
They're upset that they haven't gotten to shoot American citizens in Trump name. Yet.
Seems to me whoever is reading these internal docs should read the handwriting on the wall. Unless there is resistance from the people in charge, this will only get worse.
and for the time they are away from their home stations/states they're not available in case of emergency and they're away from families and jobs.
It’s sad they’re being used as props for the White House.
No kidding. These men and women are being forced to act against their better judgement.
