Hopefully, this will work out well, there will not be violence and looting, and people can lie about something else, and Trump can rightly point out how he did everything he could to diffuse the situation, including having the guard lay down arms and go with soft hats.

The idea that Esper can actually do ANYTHING without the approval of the President is a leftie pipe-dream.

Exactly. Why put a gun in the hand of a Barney Fife guardsman and set off a real riot.

Trump outsmarted them again.....

BTW.....where are the one million protesters.

FAKE NEWS

Why not just tie their hands behind their backs and blindfold them too.

CNN now says it’s thousands march across America.

The one million fizzled out in DC. A real JOKE!

Is Esper hoping that members of the National Guard will get injured or killed? Or does he just want to make it easy for the looters and rioters?

Esper should lead them tonight down the streets of DC. Come on, dude. You put your name to this. Time to step up. Ah, but you won’t. Big weeny knows he wouldn’t make it 100 yards.

It depends on what intel there might be that, it’s certainly possible, Antifa has been spotted wearing other “uniforms” and helping #FakeNews staging events like the “arrest” of CNN “reporter” Jiminez to help get the riots going (totally staged in conjunction with “State Patrol” literally acting things out) ... if Antifa & #FakeNews were already to “present” some narrative involving national guard wearing helmets and allegedly shooting BLM ... then a disaster may have been averted. IDK + TBD ;)

Thanks Glad you get it. Anyone who sends troops in without weapons to protect themselves with, deserves to be shot.

This is cowardice bordering on treason.

He should be put away someplace in D.C. and given the boot at first opportunity.

Good Lord I am sick of cops, troops, guardsmen and other patriots being sent out to take the lead.

Esper is scum.

If anything like that were actually the case, I think another identifying mark would be safer than ordering men to go without head protection in the midst of dangerous projectiles thrown by mobs of crazy people.

This piece of crap is probably passing out vests with bullseyes on them too.

The official said Esper also on his own directed the National Guard in D.C. to wear soft caps instead of helmets.

How about you going out on the front lines, Esper, and show us how it's done - as Antifa throw frozen water bottles, bricks, rocks and urine at you.

All knowing nothing will happen to them. Put our boys at risk?

You are a POS.

I hope Trump has taken steps to protect his family and maybe get them out of the country.

Looks like the military is against him.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

All of the above. Plus the Deep State wants to Falsely portray the government in a state of collapse so they can panic the public erode support for president trump. Pelosi will be shrieking (actually has been shrieking) that we need leadership that can end the rioting. And so the Deep Staters put the pedal on the gas and rev the riots, strip the military presence and then demand a “real” leader step forward.
Wonder if they want Biden, Hillary or Biden.
