Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.

Let everyone have their own content.

Disregard all rules, Get this to anyone you know in the US military now
A tweet states that National Guard or Active Duty military ordered to violate constitutional rights can call the GI Rights Hotline for support, with the number 1-877-447-4487 provided.
No, you just don’t understand how the two are intertwined.
Oh -- sorry, I understand the protests are about immigration, which is not exactly a domestic issue. I'm talking about the deployment of the national guard.
The deployment of the military domestically, using tactics and technology that were field tested in Israel and US battlefields, is inextricably linked to our foreign policy.
The implication that there is any division between the two topics is insanely obtuse.
I was expecting you to have a much deeper connection than just "it's the same tactics." Like yeah obviously if you learn something in one place you can apply it to another similar situation.
Same tactics, same soldiers, same commanders, same weapons, same policies…
What’s different, besides the location? Only difference I see is that the rules of engagement are much stricter for soldiers abroad, while demonically they can fire on anyone they want and attack the press without consequence.
Right, but my point was that the location is different. The OP's image contains this text, which you might not have noticed:
Anyway, if your point is that "GIs aren't going to care about the fact that these are US citizens," then I more or less agree with you.
It implies an adherence to law that I’ve never seen in my lifetime, from neither domestic law enforcement nor foreign deployed military. It should be a factor, but I’ve never seen it in practice.
If you mean "should" from a moral point of you, I don't think it should. What's moral doesn't change based on your physical location. Or at least, not in my moral framework.
I’m speaking to the purported “law and order” they claim to enforce. It’s just a fabrication to justify their authority.
