That’s all true, but if a soldier refuses to follow orders the consequences are severe. They are in a very untenable position. The test is how they conduct themselves while posted.

There was no violence when it was just the National Guards so Trump is trying to ratchet up the tension. He wants confrontation he’s itching for chaos. That’s the only reason he’s escalating. He certainly was in no hurry to call the National Guard when his Proud Boys were beating up Capitol Police and threatening Mike Pence.
Yesterday was peaceful let’s hope it stays that way. And keep in mind the troops aren’t the enemy here. They are under the orders of a very dangerous man. The best way to conquer Trump in this situation is for everyone to remain calm on both sides of the protest.
I never said the troops were the enemy but they do have internet wherever they are and extended families that live outside their base, if they are active which they were not, so they should know what’s going on in the White House and what’s going is really going on with the protests and ICE and the so called ICE with masks running rampant.
The protesters should be smart and be peaceful. I know exactly what Trump is trying to do.
That’s a very good question. Trump has made truth a matter of opinion. I’m not sure he’s capable of telling the truth. So now we have a divided nation living in separate realities.
I do think that some of the population that he’s burned badly are starting to realize they’ve been duped but unfortunately the Republicans who should know better are still enabling the mad man. Hopefully that will be their downfall in 2026.
But for now, protest as it is your right but be careful not to get triggered.
2026 may be too late. August 2025 may be too late.
Less than 24 hours ago, a black-uniformed thug, among a mob of black-uniformed thugs, deliberately shot a young female TV news reporter with a rubber bullet while she was peacefully doing her job.
Those rubber bullets can be lethal or can permanently maim their victims, depending upon where they strike their targets.
This should be a warning to all peaceful protesters and peaceful bystanders: “You may be the next target!”
The thugs do not respect the law. The “January 6” lesson for the entire country is that loyal criminal thugs who get prosecuted will be pardoned by the king.
I agree. We have no control over Trump or what the the guys with guns will do.
People need to be aware of that and be careful. We have a right to protest and as long as everyone can keep to their mission, a peaceful protest.
Trump wants the protesters to react so don’t give him that. As long as people are exercising their constitutional right to protest peacefully. It will expose Trump for what he is, a lying wanna be dictator who is using the National Guard and now the Marines to create chaos.

Some troops are conditioned to act as predatory pack animals and to view anyone who is not in the pack as the enemy.
Soldiers are not required to obey illegal orders. Who will tell them which orders are illegal?

Expose the bastard, protest peacefully!
