Texas National Guard arriving in Chicago

https://lemmy.world/post/37047964

Update: Meal Team Six also sighted by residents of Chicago suburbs

Maybe Pete Hegseth had a point?
Texas National Lard
That’s protective padding!
No worries, Hegseth is going to whip them into shape post haste!
Why does it say US Army on their jackets if they are NG?
Are you aware of what a pun is?
I thought petey said no fatties allowed
probably using them as human shields, since fat people are better at absorbing bullets.
hes also drunk most of the time.
Liquid diet. Not good for marching.
Yeah he probably forgot what he was talking about because he left his nips somewhere and he’s starting to get the shakes
You mean Twinky Pete?
We’re a tool using species. Fat fingers can pull a trigger just the same as non-fat fingers (unless they are exceptionally fat, sure I’ll give you that one).
…and when it’s time to run? Tool use didn’t stop a 400lbs gorilla from ripping you limb from limb. Dicks out for Harambe. I’m still not over it.
Wait, did Harambe dismember an armed national guard? I was not paying attention at the time so I don’t really know what the story was. Crazy!
planet of the apes ones can.

If you mean they’re a danger to everyone in the vicinity, yes absolutely.

But they’d still be a shit soldier. Lot more to combat readiness than ability to pull a trigger. (Though if the USA wants to fill its armed forces with obese people I won’t complain lmao)

Heavy troops
Meal Team Six reporting for duty!
in the mess hall.
Chicago hot dog vendors better stock up.
Heavy infantry
Guess the local stores already ran out of crayons
Can’t see anything.
I see only moustaches and guns floating in the air

Thing is, those are guardsmen. Probaly are called up and pulled from their families to end up in Chicago… All for the benefit of a deflecting old fuck that doesn’t want us to remember that he’s likely on the Epstein list for doing the dirty to underage girls.

This is the EXACT thing we’re supposed to forget. Epstein.

Nobody’s forgetting hes a pedophile who has fucked tons of baby girls. We knew this before the Epstein list came out. He said it on TV.

Everyone who cares already hates him. The ones who dont never will.

He even talked about fucking his own daughter if he had the chance
Right! He did! As if we hadn’t all guessed.

It’s not that they know. It’s that we won’t allow the subject to be changed anymore. We’re bullying back. If you’re tired, consider taking a break in general, bc this is the only thing I’ve seen working, and it gets to places violence doesn’t reach.

Also, your criticism is helpful and I am NOT arguing against any of your salient points.

I just call them pedophiles.

That’s the spirit.

Tbh, I learned they shut up faster lately.

Some boomer tried to shame me for using public transit, which employed him. Shut up when I pointed out I’d never been paid a living wage my entire life, which made maintaining a car hard whether you knew how to change the oil or not.

Had a nice conversation about local geology after that. Fancy that.

Learning more and more that maga folks expect to be cuffed once to know respect, and twice for love, then once a year after that for measure. Something about sense of consequence. But also I’m recomending mace+ to all minorities(more backlash from some some biggotkuks.).

Anyway, again, basic bullyback, right? Learning late. Might pick up artofwar for seasoning. (sabo manual is already on the rounds, right?)

Art of war is incredibly basic, things like ‘try to outnumber the enemy!’ ‘Don’t telegraph everything!’ ‘Circumstances can be advantageous or disadvantageous; pick the first one when you can!’. Read Clausewitz, either Mao or Lawrence, and something modern; I like Boyd but I’m a systems pervert.
Perfect :3 Primers for all.
tell me more about those

Been a long-ass time since i touched any of this, and it all kinds bleeds together, but from very rough blurry memory:

Clausewitz is… Okay so I found him incredibly hard to read because i kept wishing I had a chance to go back in time and kick him in the dick, maybe when he was too old to chase me very far after, but basically about how conflict is about more than just killing dudes, and killing dudes is a means rather than an end.

Mao talks about fighting bigger foes and some on the role of the (non-fighting) people in war. How a force sustains itself in nontraditional circumstances.

Boyd is late 20th century american imperial air force; an information/attention guy. The OODA loop guy. Relevant in modern deeply bullshit war. There are other options, but like i said: I’m a systems pervert.

Lawrence covers some (but not all) of the ground of the last two from a more romantic and heroic perspective. And also is a better writer than Mao or whoever put together Boyd’s stuff.

Mao is on my reading list, this boyd guy interests me.

I’ve only found books about his methods written by other people, did I get the right guy? What would you recommend to get acquainted with his work?

Idr it was like a billion years ago I read any of this, but I don’t think he put anything together in book form himself; all gonna be his fanboys. Maybe you can find some .ppt’s.
as long as its still relevant, its exactly what i’m looking for.
If you’re looking for something particular, you probably want a more robust reading list.
This isn’t an educated guess. We know he’s in there. The exact details of his involvement are need to prosecute, but we for sure without a doubt know. We may not know it directly from this case, but the sum of all of the evil shit he’s been a part of will easily lead you there, just not enough to prosecute this exact instance unfortunately.
This isn’t about fucking Epstein, this is a literal fascist takeover of our cities for fuck sake. At what point will you realize this?
People have been saying “It’s all a distraction!” in response to every single thing Trump has done for the past decade.
Distracting people from the Epstein files (and thus guaranteed removal from office) IS an awful thing to do though. … right? you agree right?
If the Epstein thing had been handled properly we wouldn’t be in this mess.
Porque no los dos?

On the one hand, I feel bad for them. They signed up because it put a little extra food on their family’s plates, and they felt like they’d be helping out in case of a hurricane, tornado, earthquake, flood, or similar. They likely don’t desire to enforce the anti-constitutional rulings of a degenerate. They’ll be fired at best for refusing, jailed or made an example of at worst.

But… they are still the hands carrying out the tasks. Fuck them. We live in a society where information is milliseconds away, and being ill-informed on a topic is only due to laziness. There are fucking cartoons that will explain constitutional law if you can’t read a text based article for long enough to grasp the topic, for fuck’s sake.

All armed forces members are required by oath, and therefore by law, to refuse unlawful orders.
“likely”? I thought we were past this. He’s on the list more times than people have been able to count.
So, these guys coild do the funniest thing ever and just every time theyre given an order to protect ice, get distracted by street food. Play up the ‘sorry I’m too fat to do my job, even when my job is just to stand there’ card.
On a culinary tour of duty.
I’d genuinely be fine with that. If a bunch of shit hicks from Texas came to my city on a government subsidized tasting tour, I don’t think anybody would be mad.
I’m sure the people of Chicago will take every opportunity to thank them for their service.
