Beware their corporate bosses. There is no UCMJ or Constitution they swear to, only their owners.
Mike Hastie, Vietnam medic, warns these paramilitary goons that the government abuses their loyalty, uses it to commit atrocities, and that it will destroy them.
Tweets appear to take this tack, leaning toward reminding Americans of the military's atrocities abroad. Whether the US Military feels outrage over protesting veterans' treatment, or any pressure to step up and protect Americans in the next six months, is not known.

(36,185 posts)I can't believe they'd accept this prez using paramilitaries against Americans who've been in their troops, have served and died to protect the idea of democracy. But since the wars they've waged since WWII are either anti-communist or corporate wars, they probably see a corporate government paymaster in their future.
One sniper. I just want one good sniper.
