Re: As the tanks rolled past the near empty stands...
From what I understand from some of my prior colleagues, other than for some crack drill teams (for funeral and such) there is very little drill practiced after basic training in the current army. I a way it makes sense; much of the drill comes from times when large units of tropps used them in bat...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
Southerners are Americans, and we always have been. Our loyalty will always be to this country Bwahahaha! No, you were not always Americans, and you were not always loyal to this country! You seceded from the Union and started the most awful war in the history of the Union which caused the loss of ...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
Lib told us: One thing my Confederate ancestors taught the people of the South (which the North seems to have forgotten) is that wars are won and lost long before the first shot is ever fired. Then why did your Confederate ancestors fire on Fort Sumter in 1861? Because from their perspective it was...

Re: As the tanks rolled past the near empty stands...
Yesterday’s Army birthday parade should’ve been a moment of pride—a national “thank you” to the men and women who’ve worn the uniform and stood guard for our country through generations. Instead, empty seats told a different story. Whatever the reasons—weather, timing, politics—it doesn't change thi...

Re: As the tanks rolled past the near empty stands...
The choice of Washington, D.C., for a parade that honors the Army was probably a bad one. While I don't doubt that many in D.C. believe the Army does not deserve a parade—some even saying it serves as an occupying force maintaining the current order—it’s yet another reason why the capital should be ...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
Remember when I said the other day that there are Mexicans who want to take back the Southwest for Mexico? And some people right here on this site would hand it over—knowing it would weaken us. But they don't care, because they don’t see themselves as American citizens. They see themselves as citiz...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
This is not the first time the National Guard has been federalized without the cooperation of a state governor. No, but I cannot recall a time when a president acted unilaterally; not enforcing the orders of a federal court, e.g., to send in troops. n the past, you always seemed to be on the other ...

Re: That's a military coup, Ice Barbie
FWIW, I never recall either of you saying it. Now, come on, Big R. Try to be objective and set aside your radical, anti-establishment, Communist-leaning youth for a moment. Be honest—are you really telling me you cannot remember either of those two ever expressing the thought that the national gove...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
No, the President in fact does NOT have the authority to suppress riots, and "insurrections" only on invocation of the Insurrection Act where there is some actual threat to the government, none of which is the case here. Managing a protest, even one that involves property damage, is a matter for lo...

Re: That's a military coup, Ice Barbie
What happened to the notion that the federal government is supreme in all areas, while the state government is merely its messenger, carrying out its will? If that’s the case, why isn’t the state of California obeying the directives of its superior, remember the supremacy clause, hypocrite. Whose "...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
Are you saying the President doesn't have the responsibility to suppress riots and insurrections across the country? Does he just have to sit in the White House and watch them happen? Now, if it were a Democratic President handling things the same way Trump is, I presume it would be considered accep...

Re: Insurrection in Los Angeles
There are individuals in Southern California who want to break away and join Mexico. Some of them may have lived here for years and may even be American citizens, but their loyalty remains with Mexico. I cannot say how many people fall into this category, but as the Mexican population in Southern C...

Insurrection in Los Angeles
There is an ongoing Insurrection in Los Angeles. Unlike the so-called Insurrection at the Capitol, this one involves firebombs, targeted property destruction, as well as firebombs used against police officers. It also represents a direct challenge to the national government's authority to determine ...
