  1. Reminder that the National Guard are not intended to be used against its own citizens. They fought in Vietnam, Kosovo, Iraq, and Afghanistan. And they've also guarded Guantanamo Bay. They are not police. They are military.

  2. The US military signed up to protect America against all foes foreign and domestic which does not include other peoples wars in other countries.

  3. I approve this, how can the strongest country and the modern empire economy have homelessness in its capital. They should sign the homeless into the military or give them a job of cleaning the streets. But homeless camps shouldn't exist
