Remember when their own Commander in Chief called service members "suckers and losers"? Pepperidge Farm remembers.

They could be sleeping comfortably in their own beds but instead they're sleeping on a cold, hard floor at the whim of a tyrant who has no respect for them.

And sadly most of them will still say "more please."

[–] ShoeThrower@lemmy.zip 47 points 2 days ago

They're just training for after they leave the service.

[–] iAvicenna@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago (1 children)

this is a part of the strategy, get them aggravated so that they treat protestors harshly. fascist pull the same shit with police that are also sent to stop protests. For instance, not implementing shifts if the protests are too long and keeping them there overnight on duty for more than a full day.

[–] Allemaniac@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

in civilized countries those police men are not only protected by working law (overtime-laws), but also by the constitution. What else needs to happen for americans to finally wake up to a increasingly more and more fascist police state? As a german I had the rise of the Nazi's for the majority of my senior school years, we know what that shit looks like. Depressing to watch and not be able to do anything about it

Shame on them for following illegal orders. I spent 6 years in the military and they drilled into us that we were not to follow illegal orders. These orders a blatantly illegal. They are all complicit.

[–] nieminen@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Forgive me, but to my knowledge they haven't done anything but show up. I believe (like the Marines that recently got deployed), they don't have an actual mission, and they're only allowed to defend federal buildings. The only people I've seen or heard of shooting at protestors (and reporters) are ice and local PD.

You’re right. The problem is “The Foot In The Door” technique. They’re going to be asked to do worse things in steps, starting off with just showing up. Then showing up armed. Then showing up armed with vehicles. Then vehicles with firepower. All leading up to the use of violence, maybe lethal violence.

This is an excellent point

You mean the traitor who is repeatedly on record talking shit about the military and individual military personnel is treating the troops poorly?

[–] belastend@lemmy.dbzer0.com 46 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Oh No, cunts have to sleep on the floor before they go out to shoot at protesters. Oh no. The horrors.

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 24 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This kinda shit is probably there to irritate them so they make bad calls in the field

Cortisol is a hell of a drug

Next best thing to Ketracel (White) which won't be invented for another 300 or so years.

No Soldier shall, in time of peace be quartered in any house, without the consent of the Owner, nor in time of war, but in a manner to be prescribed by law.

Constitution of the United States, Third Amendment

[–] Drusas@fedia.io 66 points 2 days ago

Grant no quarter. But allegedly, at least one local hotel has asked a group of ICE agents to leave.

[–] jonne@infosec.pub 16 points 2 days ago (2 children)

This is in the ICE detention centre, so it doesn't violate that amendment.

[–] BeardedGingerWonder@feddit.uk 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Not a USer but, if someone gives permission then it doesn't appear to be an issue at all, right?

[–] yeather@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

Yes, during the revolution British soldiers would demand to be quartered within residential homes, often requiring the family to also feed them. There was still the notion a swelling of troops may need quartering within residential homes after the revolution, but the constitution mandates you cannot require it.

Donald Trump deserves the death penalty.

[–] stebo02@sopuli.xyz 18 points 2 days ago (2 children)

no he deserves jail, the death penalty would be too merciful

He's eaten enough of my taxes. Throw him out of a window.

[–] Draces@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (14 children)

They can spend decades on death row going through appeals. I would be content with him being in jail knowing the day of his execution. It's not going to happen but that does seem like a fitting end

This is the shit that needs to be on nightly news. It wont...but it should.

[–] MelonYellow@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

For real. One picture worth a thousand words.

[–] gaja@lemm.ee 7 points 2 days ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (2 children)

Ngl, I don't think this is too uncommon. I've done a lot of traveling and units do just sleep on the floor between trips (like at airports). I don't know if they really are just without food, but I have doubts.

[–] Lucky_777@lemmy.world 11 points 2 days ago

Same happened in DC awhile back. Troops sleeping in parking garages. Food would just be MREs which I'm sure they have plenty of for the next few days.

Them being there needlessly is the real crime here. They were not needed and Trump wanted to make a scene like always.

Worst president of all time, will go down in the history books as a modern day Nero

[–] Dashi@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

All moralities of what they are doing aside, them sleeping on the floor isn't that uncommon for the first couple of days moving into an area. Typically the next step would be to get a base or lodgings set up.
