They need to be so severely booed when they arrive. There is no respect or honor in their service being used this way. They should be ashamed.
Living in Chicago I expect nothing less than that.
My guess is they’ll station everyone in the loop for optics but not actually put military in the actually dangerous streets.
Ain’t nobody going to North Lawndale or Garfield Park.
Heh, if they did, all that knowledge from Iraq and Afghanistan won't do them any good.
Different groups of guerilla fighters attacking with different uncoordinated tactics, no Intel on capabilities or location, and no tech to exploit. Not to mention no language barriers.
Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don't think will happen domestically.
Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don't believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.
This is a completely unrelated thing but please tell me Garfield Park has lots of Garfield the cat graffiti.
Graffiti, yes. Graffiti of pussy even!
Garfield? Not so much
It would be funnier to give them campaign medals. And then when they match in parade they can tell people that they are veterans of the battle of Washington or what ever. Just pull the absolute piss out of them, have podcasts where they discuss their time with Ukrainian veterans to the point where they give up out of embarrassment
