If the Marines end up killing civilians, Hegseth must be held accountable after Trump leaves office.
There was no justification for sending in the Marines. Any prior secretary of state would have resigned before agreeing to this, which is what Hegseth would have done if he had any integrity. Trump may have immunity, but his henchmen do not. It is critical that they be held accountable for their actions, even if Trump cannot be. |
A break-throwing fool versus a United States Marine? That is an insulting assignment for the Marines. Get them out of Los Angeles and send them to continue to properly train for their difficult jobs battling our high-level military adversaries. |
Trump does not know what the ROE for the NG or Marines are. |
Californians are their adversaries. |
That is an unfunny joke. This needs to stop. |
No. He will be a hero to the Fox News crowd. Bet they will paid spot bonuses to each Marines. Hegseth will be awarded the Medal of Honor. |
It’s not a joke. You know that. Just listen to what Trump and republicans are saying. They absolutely hate Californians and see them as the enemy. Fox News will celebrate any use of force by the marines. |
Fox News and Trump are not the Marines. This is completely inappropriate activity for the United States Marines. Californians are not their adversaries. But I am sure their true adversaries are loving this crap show. |
Some marines have family members who are here illegally. How's that for ironic. |
Ironic sure but also very corrosive. These are our highly trained soldiers being used to terrorize Americans instead of our enemies. |
Ok, you are clearly a moron, but even you should know that Marines aren’t “soldiers,” and guarding federal buildings isn’t terrorizing. |
shouldn't the National 'Guard' guard federal buildings? What a waste of time for the marines. Why didn't Trump send the marines when the Capitol was being invaded? |
They are not just there to guard federal buildings.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has asked Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth to instruct soldiers deployed to Los Angeles to help arrest rioters, even though the military is generally barred from domestic law enforcement. "In a leaked letter, Noem asked Hegseth on Sunday to have the Pentagon give “direction to [Department of Defense] forces to either detain, just as they would at any federal facility guarded by military, lawbreakers under Title 18 until they can be arrested and processed by federal law enforcement, or arrest them,” the San Francisco Chronicle reported." And this is not the Marines job or purview. |
Has the National Guard even stepped off the sidewalk in front of the federal building? Slow your roll. The military isn’t going to kill any civilians. |
They are also being removed from their core mission and/or readiness training. |
