This is what ANTIFA wants - a ‘Kent State’ moment. I say no ammunition
Would you go into these riots without ammunition?
You first.
Bring in LRAD and cook them until they run away.
“This is what ANTIFA wants - a ‘Kent State’ moment.”
They will get it.
That’s always worked out really well when we’ve sent troops anywhere with no ammo and piss poor ROE.
I say no ammunition
I say that is not too smart.
Antifa is hoping to establish a moral equivalency between what the US does with riots and what China intends to do with Hong Kong protests.
Unarmed soldiers ? Like in Afghanistan?
Would you go into the midst of those savages (knowing you are a target) with no ammo? Seriously?
OK, BAYONETS ONLY!
Chuckle.
Do you even know anything about what actually happened in Kent State?
Were you even alive then?
Not to pile on, seriously, but I can’t agree with you there.
I’ll not send any of our troops into harms way without the
ability to defending themselves and others.
Why send them at all if those ferule animals can still do
whatever the hell they want with impunity?
Send them in. If people are stupid enough to F with them,
they they pay the full price of admission.
Firehoses might be just the thing.

You’re gonna catch a bit of flak for that one. I would seem to me that soldiers (and guardsmen) should be as well-armed as the police are.
But then the soldiers must be as restrained as the police are trained to be. No shooting unless absolutely, absolutely necessary. Because I’m guessing that more than a few rioters are armed too. One wrong move, and it’s a gun battle with many unarmed folks in the middle.
Our side can’t be the one that sets that off.

———
Weapons that are outside of an armory MUST be loaded with ammunition. That’s how the weapon is “protected” or secured from physically being taken away from the user by having it loaded and ready to use.
Trying to get people killed.? The rioters have guns and ammo.
Personally I’d have the 82nd Airborne on standby.
So let’s let the thugs riot indiscriminately and burn down our cities? With the current siege I don’t think too many people would be upset if a couple rioters find themselves dead.
If your son was an MP, would you think differently?
Mine is, I do.
Some of my friends deployed to LA for the Rodney King riots. No ammo means bring your own ammo.
Kent State was a pivotal moment that really slammed the brakes on all the fun the college communists and their acolytes were having in the A/W movement. BTW whatever happened to the military trucks that used high pitched sound waves for mob control? apparently very effectively as well and non-lethal.
