A lot of these guys are being pulled from full time jobs and they don't get paid very much as a national guardsman anyway. This is horrible what they're doing to them too.

There's a running joke in the military that field exercises train you for when you separate and become homeless.

I was wondering how he was going to speed run the bill of rights but I think I see the path now.

he is planning to do this in his parade too.

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?

You know that parking deck or whatever they’re all sleeping in smells like farts and piss by now.

The billionaires have us at each others' throats.

trump never considered soldiers people.

Had me in the first half, not gonna lie

This is not only incorrect, it is just plain unfair...
They are supposed to shoot TV reporters too. And, well, anybody really. Not just protesters.

It's very easy to just tell them to get a hotel and they'll be reimbursed or just bulk order all the rooms in a couple hotels. The national guard troops along the border in their pretend mission do that, they all just stay at a hotel.

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.

honestly if trump violated the fucking third amendment I'd be kind of impressed. at this point which amendment in the bill of rights hasn't he violated?

It's like Trump broke all the ten commandments and now he's trying to break all the Amendments.

Congress will declare a war on liberals. Honestly the founding fathers left that one way too open ended.

Aaahhww, you still believe trump would care about the constitution? He's wiped his ass with that more times than I care to remember

You can't expect people drilled for obedience their entire careers to suddenly turn into rebels. You can hope, but you can't expect

When a general decides to say so. The soldiers at the bottom of the ladder have free thought drilled out of them during basic. They've proven time and time again that they'll follow illegal orders (just look at the war crimes committed in Iraq and Afghanistan). Do not trust people in the armed forces to be good people.

“Go stand around” is much different than “shoot to kill”

And anyone who offers them a bed or a meal.

Unless that meal is poorly prepared and they get sick.

We've had the same thing with politicians in Canada. It's gone from "he's an asshole" to "but he's OUR asshole".

I think congratulation politicians - whether you live them or not - when they do good things is well warranted. Keep in mind that while many couldn't give a shit about you or I, they DO like ego-stroking and attention so positive reinforcement can actually work well.

Watch trump pull some colonial 1700s British law into effect as an emergency for housing soldiers

They didn't even deploy with cots? The only time I slept on the floor was when I had to keep the mobile server room secured.
