[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]That's weird, when I see the National Guard I say "thank you."[/quote]

Thank you for holding giant guns outside the library to scare children? [/quote]

Who is scared at the sight of a rifle which isn't pointed at them?  Are you afraid when you see an armed police officer?  Do you tremble in public, knowing that someone around you might have a concealed weapon on their person because they are off-duty or non-uniformed law enforcement, or perhaps just an armed citizen?  Silly snowflake hysteria.  Obey the law, have no fear.    [/quote]

Clearly, you don't have children. [/quote]

I DO have kids and am super liberal- we were traveling  in a country that has mandatory military service for men and my kids saw soldiers with guns on trains when we are getting around all the time and they're only reaction is sigh- there will be fewer seats b/c there are military exercises this weekend.  I don't think kids should be scared by seeing national guardsmen but I am also infuriated by this whole situation and do think that "childish" pranking like playing the imperial match is good b/c I come from a religious background and shame is a powerful emotion.   some people should feel ashamed, they deserve it and these men should feel shame and low morale even if they are only following orders. too many people did despicable things b/c they were "only following orders".  [/quote]

I'd be ashamed if I engaged in such public futile, performative, silliness, and would have no idea how to explain to my children that this kind of conduct is something marking me a serious, thoughtful, and effective person instead of a patent childish twit.[/quote]

The futile, performative, silliness here is the National Guardsman standing outside Whole Foods and the recently released felons that ICE hired to tote machine guns in DuPont Circle. [/quote]

But why take it out on the guardsman?  If you want to make a futile, pointless, silly gesture direct it at the person responsible.  Instead of harassing the National Guard, go hum in front of the White House.[/quote]

And why is Luke Skywalker and Han Solo always harassing those stormtroopers? They should be thanking them and the entire Empire for keeping them safe. [/quote]
