When I first heard this story I was upset. I thought Esper and Trump were backing down. However, after thinking it through, it is really smart. The best thing to happen for the rioters/Democrats is for the police/military to shoot protestors. In tense, heated and inflamed situations mistakes can be made. By disarming the military, they have eliminated the possibility of rioters being killed or wounded. The military will look like the good guys by protecting our monuments. The rioters will trash DC and make themselves look like the thugs they are.
It is NOT smart for the men’s heads to be exposed when the ‘protestors’ are throwing all kinds of dangerous stuff at them.
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.
