    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

      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.

    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.

      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.

        He already did back in 2020 after the murder of George Floyd. Although I don’t think the National Guard was federalized at the time so maybe that doesn’t count.

    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.

      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?

        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.

    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.
