What? What possible purpose is there for them to wear ‘soft helmets’ unless you WANT them to appear more vulnerable?

This is insanity. Idiots on the streets have been throwing all sorts of things at these men.

They want the nation’s capitol to look like it’s fallen to rioters so they can get photo ops, spin and panic the public and then beg for foreign “assistance” from our enemies.

Beta dogs roll over and show their bellies to alpha dogs in a show of subsevience.

How is this different?

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 ;)

Don't worry he'll be right with them...leading from the rear.

Defense Secretary Mark Esper on Friday ordered National Guard troops in Washington, DC, to disarm,.. wear soft caps instead of helmets, drop trou, don crotchless underwear, lay on their backs with boots in the air, and smile at the arrival of the Huns and Visigoths.

The President should override this evil communist and put guns back in the hands of our Nation's defenders.

ESPER should wear a soft hat-—for a soft head. He is trying to set up the troops for injury by the mindless idiots “protesting” (LOOTING).
