Troops and marines deeply troubled by LA deployment: ‘Morale is not great’

California national guards troops and marines deployed to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against the Trump administration have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join.
Three different advocacy organisations representing military families said they had heard from dozens of affected service members who expressed discomfort about being drawn into a domestic policing operation outside their normal field of operations. The groups said they have heard no countervailing opinions.
“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.
They should be troubled. They are breaking their oath on the constitution.
On the other hand, they could easily turn and end tyranny before it really sets in.
Maybe it's time to stop "just following orders".
You got the choice to stand up and say no. No I will not use my weapons on my own fucking people because some geriatric PoS is having a terrible twos tantrum because everyone hates his ass.
Do what's right or be remembered as the ones who did wrong.
One day these guys will have to pick a side between their neighbours and the oligarchy.
Please. Please. Please. Come on boys, just read the Constitution, you didn't sign up for this shit.
Pawns of political games feel like pawns of political game? No fucking way, at this rate, they will get self-conscience faster than they predict it for ai.
They are upset that they are witnessing police tear gas their own community members and civilians exercising their 1st amendment rights, yet soldiers cannot use that same weapon against enemies… what does that say?!? STOP GASSING US! Stop with the rubber bullets! We have right and Americans need to stand up and realize this!
If there are no consumers, there is no capitalism! If all essential workers all don't show up ONE DAY… we shutdown America! We
THIS IS WHAT NEEDS TO HAPPEN, mass organized protests across the nation!!!
They're welcome to come defend the American people from the criminal gangs known as the police and ICE.
Every military and law enforcement member needs to understand right now that attacking protesters for exercising their First Amendment rights is crossing a line that they can never come back from. I, for one, will always hold it against any MAGA for the rest of my life. They deserve to be mercilessly shunned, ridiculed, and discriminated against for the rest of their miserable, stupid, treasonous lives. I own a business, and I will never hire a MAGA supporter, ever.
The person who regularly hates on people who serve using them to attack the people they joined to protect? I can't image why morale would be low.
Now is the time for malicious compliance
They should be troubled.
I keep looking for cries for help on their shields.
I can totally see a scenario where they deploy but have protest messages on their shields, and maliciously comply to orders.
At the largest demonstration since Trump first intervened, last Sunday, the national guard was hemmed into a staging area by Los Angeles police cruisers and played almost no role in crowd control. Since then, its service members have been deployed to guard buildings and federal law enforcement convoys conducting immigration sweeps. The marines, who arrived on Wednesday, are expected to play a similar function, with no powers of arrest.
Jayzuz. What a shit show.
This is quite funny, since pawns in chess literally represent infantry units.
In this thread: a lot of people who have no idea about how the military operates.
That's one of the key issues with army in general, aside from, y'know, killing people.
Soldiers are always pawns in someone else's political game, they don't get to choose what to fight for and have to follow whatever orders they receive. It's weird that only now they realize that.
I wonder if any of them have seen No Escape?
I mean I have to assume at least some of the armed forces are intelligent enough to know they didn't sign up to break their oaths and let a felon rapist order them to threaten American citizens.
Didn't they say that any government is immoral in general. They exist because of robbing (taxing) and coercing population, create wars that nobody appreciates, lying over and over about pretty much everything. Mango Mussolini (trump) is just another puppet and all that shit show in LA and Mask is only being done to distract attention from something more important that we're going to see soon. Either enforcement of CBDC, another scamdemic, complete surveillance like in 1984 or some war. All the countries participating in genocide of Occupied Palestine and Ukraine. They send funds and Palantir testing new weapons. Soon enough these weapons will be used against all of us.
Trust the plan and vote harder behind the shower curtain.
