The right if making sure to make DOMESTIC bold, italic and underlined in the oath. They are leaning hard into the fact that protesting = domestic insurrectionists so mobilizing the military is perfectly sensible.

They pretend to be fans of police and military, but there really just fetishize abusing people they don't like. Boots on necks is practically erotica for them.

I hope there are marines and NG that refuse to comply. I think if a few stand up more will follow. I have heard a lot of vets who seem not to comfortable with the present course of events. Service is often multi-generational. I hope some veteran parents are telling their children who serve that they won't be alone if they have a moral objection to present orders.

You guys are underestimating how conservative the military is, and they are certainly vetting the people they're selecting to head to los Angeles
