Quoted: So what we have here is a Trump supporter who was there in command of a unit with ammo. We all wondered if there were such people. He says 80% were of a like mind. I take comfort that such people were there. How would it be better if all conservative guard members refused to go and got stripped of their command etc.. That is likely literally what Pelosi hoped would happen. How would the protesters have been better off if there was no one there that was on their side at least to some degree politically? Most importantly, how is it fair to assume he would have broken his oath and fired on Americans just on an order as implied just for political reasons? Is he even able to say he wouldn't and keep his commission? He implied he would defend himself from a nutjob if needed and nothing else. If not him, and people like him, who would be there to oppose an order to open up on the people? I read the OP as an expose on what our political leaders did, not as a brag. There was live ammo. They ordered that. Now we know. We already knew the whole thing was a farse. Assume the worst, and ostracize the people on our side in the Guard, expecting them to self purge, and we end up with exactly what they want, a Guard that we have no hope would do the right thing. View Quote I'm pretty much with above. We absolutely NEED those GOOD PEOPLE (like the O.P.) to be IN those organizations. |

View Quote I see it this way as well. The OP gave us RECON info that from where I sit after two whole years, I had never heard from any source. Total radio silence on the live ammo angle. I look at that as invaluable information, as now we know for sure what we had always suspected about the "Deep State" and how it feels about anyone to the right of Karl Marx. The left would absolutely LOVE to purge the (historically conservative) Armed Forces of any and all conservatives, and they've been actively working towards that first through the "Woke" BS in training, and then going hog-wild with the vaxx mandate. This is why Obama started pushing for a "National Police Force" during his regime, but they got a gift plopped into their laps via J6 and COVID, where they think the can re-shape the armed forces into the leftist brownshirts that they need to reach their "final solution". Rail against our dwindling conservative brethren in uniform at all our own peril. |

Quoted: Thank you for your answer and I believe you when you said no and others here should also. But the one thing I disagree with and it's not on you. If the force rules forbid that then why did the federal government issue you guys live ammo. Even though force rules forbid it. This would not have forbid the tyrants occupying our capital from ordering it though. I mean they aren't following our Constitution and Bill of Rights now so why follow that rule.

Rail against our dwindling conservative brethren in uniform at all our own peril. View Quote Since my unit had a different tasking, we didn’t thankfully have to go to DC. I know quite a few that did. They had a pretty crappy time there before the state called them home. I lost them when my old phone died but I did have pics and video of some of them flipping off Biden’s motorcade with the rest turning their backs when it went by. There was no love lost towards the pedo fool. Can’t speak knowingly of the internal deliberations on use of force but it was discussed and all I have is second hand info. I’m not surprised at all with issued ammo. I’ve held that mag in my hands more than a few times over the past six years. It always weighed more than ones overseas. In the end, I’ll just say some of y’all need to have a lil more faith in us and what we would do when the time comes. I’m not going to get into any more detail than that. |

Quoted: I remember a report around 2003 of some chems being found. I’ve looked for that report numerous times since, and can’t find it. Hindsight shows mistakes in Iraq, and Afghanistan. Those were the “enemy” though, not fellow Americans. That’s a pretty big difference in my opinion. View Quote Point being that soldiers sometimes find themselves on missions they don't personally believe in. Also case in point when I was mobilized for Covid vaccine support, while being unvaccinated myself. |

You don't like the people in it, you tell everyone else to not join. So what happens? Eventually all the good people that do like you and your family and can keep you from being up against the wall aren't in the military, and all the diversity hires pull the trigger on you, your family, and everyone you love and care about because "I won't let my kids join the military and I will tell my friends to not join either."

Quoted: It’s another glaring example of the forethought of our Founding Fathers and their intent for the 2A.

Civilian control of the military. Civilian leaders call you, you answer. As long as the order isn't illegal, immoral, or unethical, you obey. What OP did was not illegal, immoral, or unethical. Citizens SHOULD be able to have everything the federal government has up to and including nukes and whatever is orbiting the earth. |

Quoted: I think at the root of it is the NG is ruled by an enemy of the constitution and that they would follow orders and shoot if told so. Not that its going to happen, but that the possibility exists. View Quote What part of civilian control of the military are you not grasping? What part of illegal immoral or unethical are you missing? The possibility has always existed, and it has been utilized in the past. from the very beginning of our country, through the 1800's, and in to the 20th and 21st centuries. The military has been used against it's citizens. Only now does GD care because it's cool for some reason here to bash the military. You want better control of the military, stop electing cunt politicians. Stop moaning in GD how you give up, want off the planet, or stop voting because it doesn't matter. |
