President Donald Trump is proposing using American cities as training grounds for the armed forces. He's suggesting U.S. military might be deployed against what he describes as the “invasion from within.” Addressing military brass abruptly summoned to Virginia on Tuesday, Trump outlined a muscular and at times norm-shattering view of the military’s role in domestic affairs. He was joined by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth, who declared an end to “woke” culture and announced new directives for troops that include “gender-neutral” or “male-level” standards for physical fitness. The messages underscored the Trump administration’s efforts not only to reshape contemporary Pentagon culture but to enlist military resources in the president's priorities and in everyday American civic life.
Its kinda worse as he announced a special forces group that would be a rapid reaction force to quell civil dissent.
What’s he calling them? Shock Soldiers?
I don’t recall a name but its hard to retain his um lets call it speech. I mean im sure it will get a name at some point if it does not have one given how he is.
Well, he’s going full hitler, so having his very own SS seems to be the next step.
SOCOM has been doing almost nothing but counterinsurgency for the past 20-something years. Their purpose would probably be to hunt and kill people who do things like shoot conservative podcasters in the throat, particularly if instead of turning themselves in, they headed into the woods and became a fugitive who may have other targets planned.
Evading a police manhunt is one thing, evading a special operations death squad is another.
Socom should be doing nothing on us soil other than training. Oh some fuckhead Podcaster got shot? Nope keep training. Not their fucking job. Troops are NOT police, and even those are too fucking militaristic now.
It sounded a lot more like it was for protests.
