The Trump administration is considering plans to create a squad of 600 National Guard soldiers who would be ready to deploy into U.S. cities to tackle civil unrest, according to a report.
As part of the “Domestic Civil Disturbance Quick Reaction Force,” troops would be equipped with weapons and riot gear, ready to deploy within an hour under the proposals, which could cost hundreds of millions of dollars, according to documents reviewed by The Washington Post.
Troops would be split in half, with 300 stationed at headquarters in Alabama and 300 in Arizona, according to the newspaper.
This is why it’s important for the average American citizen to be armed.
Well, it’s why it’s important that everyone votes and has more than two braincells which they exercise regularly but sure, after the whole place has fallen to comically obvious bad guys you can have a civil war, I guess.
Like, yea that’s where you are but it really is ridiculous(and telling) that the US feels like it is in constant danger from itself.
