Military officials are sketching out a plan that could deploy a few thousand National Guard members, officials said. The use of active-duty forces has also been discussed.

Its pretty clear that the plan is to wreck Democratic-leaning cities one by one.

    Living in Chicago I expect nothing less than that.

    My guess is they’ll station everyone in the loop for optics but not actually put military in the actually dangerous streets.

    Ain’t nobody going to North Lawndale or Garfield Park.

      Heh, if they did, all that knowledge from Iraq and Afghanistan won’t do them any good.

      Different groups of guerilla fighters attacking with different uncoordinated tactics, no Intel on capabilities or location, and no tech to exploit. Not to mention no language barriers.

        Plus they will be working against our own people. When deployed to another country there is some mental disconnect happening that I don’t think will happen domestically.

        Aside from tactics and training not working which I agree with, I don’t believe the majority will be motivated to be effective in any way.
