    Hey national guard in DC. If you decide to end this today by storming the white house and capitol, you have the full support of the American people

      Most of the people I’ve known in the national guard are part of the problem and not the ones likely to stand up to Trump…

        Same with most second amendment people. They would have been happy to take out Obama though for giving them health care.

      Bonus Army Riot round 3, Bonus Army Riot round 3!

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bonus_Army

      BTW, note the different approaches to this.

      Republicans: Send in MacArthur and Patton with tanks to drive them out.

      Democrats: Give them jobs in the CCC, along with a field camp to feed and house them for the protest.

      Now which party is it that supports veterans again?

    I have little sympathy for those who choose to fight in America’s imperial wars.

    Especially as the US army is full of closet fascists who helped this regime in to power.

      I have sympathy for their families though, who now have to pay the bills solo

        True.

        Although I do still have some sympathy for those who join the military, often because of economic need, or because they’re pressured into it by those who surround them at a young age.

    Our last “official” war was Desert Storm thirty years ago. Have there seriously been no payouts since then? Or is our government trying even harder to torpedo their base for no reason?

    Reminder, the total is also “13”

    At least those dozen got recognized, the other ~800 people don’t even “count” because of “national security”
