“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.
Down boy, down.
A lot of good info coming out, including much provided by you.
I am not embarrassed to say my information on this is not as complete as that of others. That though does not make me (and others) a commie.
