[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If this is correct, hopefully someone with character will stand up to Trump.  Not hopeful.[/quote]

“Character” and “military” are mutually exclusive terms. Remember, these are the same people who bomb hospitals and strap bombs to dolphins. If you’re relying on them to do the right thing, you’re going to be very disappointed [/quote]

I'm very thankful that my freedoms and those of my family and this country aren't dependent on people like you.[/quote]

[b]LOL as retired military, the freedoms enjoyed in this country are not won on a battlefield but in the courts. The ACLU lawyers are the ones protecting your freedoms.

The military was very close to taking your rights away this summer....very very close. Milley was right there with trump. [/b]Right now the military is planning and war gaming different scenarios involving trump and armed militia groups. These planning sessions are not being shared with civilian leadership. [/quote]

THIS.  The FACT is that Milley was imminently about to go much, much farther than merely deploy troops against protestors.  Fact.  He only walked it back well after the fact, and then only after multiple retired flag officers publicly denounced him.  Powell, Mattis, McRaven, Stavrides, and Clapper ALL knew what Milley was doing and they all spoke up, both publicly and privately.  But for them, ...

This is la la land.  [b]There is no evidence that troops would be deployed. [/b] They can't be legally.  There were no plans.  And there were no troops put on alert -- so it was not very very close.  Even if they were, I would not expect those orders to be followed.  This is legacy stuff.  No one would do this under these facts.  You are either Borris or a conspiracy nut.[/quote]

I think lala land is a good description of many of the posts on this thread....[/quote]

Wtf? I guess you are just lying and spreading false information right? What the f is wrong with people like you?

[quote] WASHINGTON — Several hundred active-duty troops brought in to help if needed with the civil unrest in the nation’s capitol are leaving Washington, D.C. Thursday, just a day after their initially planned departure was abruptly delayed.

The soldiers with the 82nd Airborne Division have been kept at military bases outside the city, and will now return to Fort Bragg, N.C., according to a defense official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss impending troop movements. The official said Defense Secretary Mark Esper has approved the move.

... The soldiers are the first active-duty to leave. The remainder of the active-duty troops are expected to get pulled home in the coming days if conditions allow. The active-duty troops were available, but were not used in response to the protests.

[b]About 1,300 active-duty troops were brought in to the capital region early this week as protests in the city turned violent.[/b] The protests came in the aftermath of the death in Minnesota of a black man, George Floyd, who died after a white police officer pressed his knee to Floyd’s neck for several minutes.[/quote]

[quote] [b]The deployments of active-duty troops to unidentified bases in what the military calls the National Capital Region, which consists of D.C. and its immediate surroundings in Virginia and Maryland, included more than 200 military police officers from Fort Bragg, N.C., and, separately, an undisclosed element of the 82nd Airborne Division’s Immediate Response Force, defense officials said Tuesday. [/b]The 82nd soldiers, also from Fort Bragg, were last activated for a short-notice deployment in January to the Middle East amid escalating tensions with Iran.

Pentagon and Army officials on Tuesday declined to say whether additional active-duty troops had been sent to the Washington area or how many troops had been moved into the region. They did not provide an explanation for the decision not to disclose the information. [/quote]
