I was an 82nd Airborne trooper long ago. Just my opinion, the streets of the US are not a place to deploy them. They are a large , well trained group to kill, capture and destroy . Not to be unleashed with their hands tied. If they are deployed, it would not surprise me they will be told to leave their MG’s, anti- tank weapons, AND rifles back home in Bragg. Not a good idea.
someone on twitter said they arent trained to deal with civilians
they are trained to take out the enemy
These units now have had years of urban warfare and containing and capturing insurgents mixed with civilians. The key to minimizing force will be to ID the organizers and remove them, physically, also jamming their comms
These antifa university professors and 30 year old students and trust fund millenials running around in black bandannas telling black people where to burn and loot think they are ninjas. They have not met battle experienced troops.
I hope Trump does not give them ROE that puts our soldiers lives in jeopardy.
