The Department of Defense (DOD) is facing significant backlash after releasing DOD directive 5240.01, which took effect on September 27. The Biden-Harris administration’s latest DoD directive has been accused of authorizing the U.S. military to use lethal force against American citizens.
The directive gives the Pentagon authority to approve “assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury.”
The DoD directive also “includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is reasonably anticipated.”
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently spoke out against the Pentagon directive, saying, “The Biden-Harris administration has done something two weeks ago that has never been done in American history, which is to send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law to make it legal for the U.S. military to be used to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil…”

It all depends on what civilian groups. Antifa and such other scum okay.
Projection
Another case of them doing what they accuse Trump of contemplating.
I believe that you’re DEFINITELY onto something there..
Well, these modern-day Soldier boys and girls will be easy picking, will be able to score some good slightly used equipment...to use against them! That is why they want to use conscripts, and most will desert or simply not join thus while out on patrol they will get picked off.
Yes!
There are two kindza people, my friend:
Those, like us, who see right through the psychopaths..
And those who admire them and aspire to be just like them…
This is the crux of this election. Those two groups.
We need to return the military to a Pre WWI size and posture.
Sorry folks, but the financial, social, and political cost of maintaining the bloated empire and central DC government will soon finally kill the Republic forever.
They must know that the fix is in. Else they wouldn't give such powers to Trump's military.
Americans can now see who the real fascists are, and it’s not Trump or his supporters.
This is America’s “Final Exam”, we’ll see if they’ve learned anything over the last four years.
That is an excellent point.
Actually, it violates Posse Comitatus, and would require legislation.
Any court, except those run by democrat judges, would stop it.”
Of course it absolutely does. But they will do what they want with it and no one can stop them. Our turncoat establishment GOP reps will not stop them, and the courts will not stop them. They have even rendered the Supreme Court powerless.
THEY DO NOT CARE WHAT IT VIOLATES....
Actually, it does not. The military will be used to train, and arm non-military employees. Maybe the UN? Or just a lot of foreigners looking to kill America.
Of course not, the writing is on the parchment.
100%
IT’S NOT NEW, it is the last FISCAL years Directive.
“send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law”
Yeah, I’m pretty sure they’re skipping a few steps here. Presidents/Vice Presidents and judges don’t make law, Congress is the vehicle for that act.
Biden/Harris, Inc. can kiss my loyal American assets.
Exactly, we don’t need a lot in this world where we can reach out and touch people with drones and missiles. A few Carriers to project our air power if needed, assorted others to protect the carriers. In short, we need a Navy, and Air Force, but the Army needs to be lean, and Marines of course should be the biggest bad asses of the lot.
We do not need that many generals and officers. One military, Army/Navy/Marines/Air Force. All answering to the same command structure.
“Americans can now see who the real fascists are, and it’s not Trump or his supporters.”
Only one problem. You may be giving them too much credit. They are braindead and do not even care let alone have enough intelligence to recognize it.
