An invasion? Of people that our own government freely allowed over our borders and remain here and in a lot of cases even gave them health and financial benefits and even housed and employed them? Surly none of you are dumb enough to believe that.

Marines or any other branch can’t br sent anywhere until requested in by the Gov. I know this because I was with the force sent in during the Rodney King riots. Posse Comitatus doesn’t allow it.

President can invoke the Insurrection Act of 1807 and circumvent Posse Comitatus.

That's how Kennedy activated the National Guard in southern states during the Civil Rights era without requests from southern governors.

On the FAFO scale a group of combat marines is on the top end of the find out part. These idiots try to engage and the marines will stomp their pussy asses into a pile of goo. They will defend this country to their last breath and that domestic part of that oath may get tested soon.

I just spent the weekend at Pendleton with my daughter's family. Her husband is a Gunny in 2/5. They had a HS graduation party for my granddaughter that quite a few members of 2/5 attended.

It would be the ultimate FAFO for those protesters to try to engage with those Marines. My SIL said the "the last thing they want to do is send us in, the only thing we know how to do is wreck shite"

fun fact - 1st LAR went into LA during the 1992 riots commanded by one LtCol John Kelly.

Nope, we can't stand back like in 2020 and give them room to spread. This needs to be crushed now.

I’m under the impression that they’ll be used to protect federal buildings and possibly provide force protection for ICE agents while they conduct their duties

Just curious. One of my fellow recruiters came from 2/7. Tough unit, has been through a lot. I need to watch the documentary on forgotton battalion. He wasnt part of the 08-09 Marines but had many seniors who were and he ended up killing himself after he got out.

For those that dont know 2/7 had like 20 casualties in 08 and has had one of the highest suicide numbers out of any unit following that.

What a shite deployment.

Spend all that time at freaking 29 palms prepping to kill bad guys and you have to go stand there and take shite from purple hair pussies.
