Their real threats are funding and training terrorist actors and indirect assaults on civilians through cyberattacks. No one really thinks they are winning a conventional war by punching up.
Sort of. I think it is about showing them who is boss and putting them in their place. The added effect is that it hardens and normalizes (I know) law enforcement to see everyone as their enemy (I said I know). This way when they tell them to shoot the students in an updated Kent State scenario, they are more willing to comply. Of course. they will back off when the bosses feel the pinch too much and want their serfs back to work. It is why they are raiding car washes and not punishing the corporations that hire them.
I saw a video with whiskey pete talking to congress. He refused to answer questions about shooting at civilians but did say he instructed the military to turn everyone over to ICE, which seems to have become the official Gestapo unit.
The idea we have masked agents in or out of uniform that are not undercover or some specialized sector (espionage, SF units) is insane. No one should deal with them other than to call law enforcement on them or shooting first. I would not convict a person who shot first at these fuckheads. If they fear the consequences of their identity being known, then they are up to some bad shit.
So he had a PhD, lives with a roommate, thinks he is ready to take on the position of VP/CEO of a corporation but gets hired to be in charge of security guards. Sounds like the perfect MAGA guy.
So professional cosplayers with a modern twist (women, no drummer boys). Ceremonial units have their place, and I like that they are an homage to the past and keep alive some of the information that would be otherwise lost and I hope to one day get to row on that Greek trireme or atleast see it. But the event was a circus for a wannabe king.
I also like seeing old equipment like the Shermans at a museum and seeing them at a local event, or my neighborhood F4 Phantom was fun. Seeing it in an official capacity sponsored by the grifting for the glory of trump makes it all distasteful.
I am angry about the military being used as a pawn one one hand to be celebrated while their brethren are simultaneously, being use to oppress American civilians.
So just ignore my grumblings.
You are projecting because your feelings are hurt. They cosplayed as revolutionary soldiers today. It is ridiculous and they just performed in this circus. Enjoy.
This is a great idea really. Maybe we can get all of our military equipment painted and stickered like NASCAR. Uniforms too. Puffy Taco sponsored F35's in pink.
