Trump’s logic for this?
Californians are vilified by him as, “The woke enemy of EVERYTHING!”
Californian national guard are maybe gonna be Californians
So maybe gonna have views sympathetic to the voting majority of California
Like…You never use locals to suppress locals… its Dictatorship 101

And I don’t pretend they saints can’t be sanctimonious arses
Or sinners can’t sometimes be laudable heroes
I also thinks whenever you put big groups of uniforms together, they will always forget “protect & serve” to take on a mob mentality of
“We are holding this line and all else are an enemy”

The military is a big firm, there are probably many true believers in that flag & constitution
In my opinion, Police are by necessity, always gonna be a fascist organisation. Their whole point is to use force on behalf of the state to enforce government will.

Which is encouraging but I am a bit sceptical
29 Palms USMC base has a reputation for being a bit grim, deployment to a basement floor might even seem an upgrade
Marines may grumble about anything but can’t see them actually saying “NO”

It has been a while since I went to a public library
But I mind that anytime I left Clydebank library
It was dark o’clock
I maybe just assumed libraries were open late

Maybe the next quarter results will be the watershed?

You mean like how the Trump regime gave free passes to drug cartel folks, pardoned people who had committed multiple crimes but focused on arresting innocents & leaving small children alone & crying while posing for cosplay wanna be military pics with huge small dick energy

When all is said & done
Rupert is 94
I cannot see his political views continuing after his demise
Lachie will no hold sway
He gets 25% of the Trust
Lachie’s 3 other siblings will get a vote & I am guessing they’ll parachute in and say,
“Enough of this far right bollox”
Well, I’m hoping

What would be interesting if
the (concerned about Fascism) population of USA went shopping
& just bought ICE agent uniforms & face coverings to protest in
They don’t need Tiki torches
Just camo & plate carriers
ICE identify the vulnerable by the fact they look human
So yer - why help them??

There was an old tankist who lived near my village:
One of the more memorable things he said was,
“From when I drove ashore in Normandy… till the end of the war… I wasn’t sober once.”
I think he might have been a bit of a (happy) nihilist

Proper Diagnosis to be at the appointment I hope
But with self diagnosis/prognosis, I look upon my life & see:
1st 25years a wimperer
2nd 25 years a warrior
& this last lot as a worrier
The chances that my heartbeat is that of a tour de France cyclist are nil - so I think I’ll have to accept age

Honestly, I can empathise with that.
An army that has no wine with meals is just uncivilised
Standards must be maintained wherever one is & regardless of circumstances.
I think that is very clear in the ROE clauses of the Uniform Code of Military Justice

That’s what E5s and Chaplin are for.
Soldier: We’ve no rations
Sgt: It’s coming (soon)
… 4 days later…
Chaplin: How are you?
Soldier: Bit hungry is all.
Sergeant: (Yelling) I told you it’s en route!!!
Chaplin: Let me see what I can do.
…1hour later….

Meh… dry, indoors?
Not a trench in the field?
Luxury and pretty much the normal state for troops when moving around to somewhere.
Should they be there at all, well no, but sleeping in boots is the job
