The Pentagon has ordered 1,500 US troops based in Alaska to prepare to deploy to Minnesota as a precautionary measure in case the administration decides to send them, a US official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The unit of the 11th Airborne Division is a cold-weather unit nicknamed “The Arctic Angels.”

Just a reminder that levying war is against the United States like this is the one thing the Constitution actually defines as a crime: Treason.

Don’t.

        My many issues with deploying federal forces against states’ wills aside, I 100% would rather be dealing with a US Army Airborne division than the incompetent, untrained, and malicious goons that make up ICE.

        You think someone is going thru one by one and determining if they’re loyal

        Are you thinking the military is 100% loyal?

        I know you’re wrong, just not how you’re wrong…

          I don’t think someone makes sure they are loyal. I think they all do as they’re told so that someone doesn’t check to see if they are loyal. That’s all the ruling class needs to have control
