True enough, but usually under the guise of the 'national Guard' and not US military forces.
This action was a huge stain on the careers of all those involved.
DC doesn't have a national guard.
I guess you read post 51. I have been thinking about putting together a list of all the uses of federal troops (on a large scale) done in America.
For instance the 101st Airborne in Little Rock Arkansas, in the 1950s, and Detroit.
Detroit, Michigan
“As the day wore on and looting and fires got worse, Romney called in the Michigan State Police and the Michigan National Guard.[141] At 3 a.m. on July 24, Romney and Detroit Mayor Jerome Cavanagh called U.S. Attorney General Ramsey Clark and requested that federal troops be sent.[141][142] Clark indicated that to do so, Romney would have to declare a state of civil insurrection, which the governor was loath to do from fear that insurance companies would seize upon it as a reason to not cover losses owing to the riot.[142] Elements of the 82nd and 101st U.S. Army Airborne Divisions were mobilized outside of the city.[143] As the situation in Detroit worsened, Romney told Deputy Secretary of Defense Cyrus Vance, “We gotta move, man, we gotta move.”[144] Near midnight on July 24, President Lyndon B. Johnson authorized thousands of paratroopers to enter Detroit.”
“True enough, but usually under the guise of the ‘national Guard’ and not US military forces.”
On the contrary, the U.S. armed forces have been used to suppress civil riots and other incidents of domestic violence on numerous occasions since the passage of the Posse Comitatus Act in 1878. These military actions were authorized by the U.S. Constitution and/or the U.S. Congress in compliance with the Posse Comitatus Act.
Furthermore, the Army National Guard and the Air National Guard are both active reserve components of the U.S. federal Government and therefore of the “US military forces.” They are not strictly state militia forces. There are some states which have reestablished active state militia forces which are not components of the armed forces of the United States Government.
“This action was a huge stain on the careers of all those involved.”
Only from the point of view of ill informed and willfully ignorant persons sympathetic to the point of view espoused by the socialist-Communist-Progressive false propaganda.
