If this is how long it takes for our military to barely respond to a national crisis

[mtnsnake]

we better hope to hell that some tiny little third world country doesn't decide to invade us tomorrow because we would be fucked!! Russia and North Korea must be licking their chops right now!

[Me.]

1. Wouldn't If It Involved BLM

[Ferrets are Cool]

2. This

[dalton99a]

3. +1

[SMC22307]

7. You got that right. Or the mythical ANTIFA. (n/t)

[ZZenith]

4. You know damn well this is not the fault of our military.

[mtnsnake]

8. Of course I know it's not THEIR fault.

[ZZenith]

10. Then why are you blaming them?

“This is how long it takes for Donald Trump to call off his goons.”

Fucking lay the blame where it lies.

[mtnsnake]

17. If you're so fucking proud of a patheticly slow response

then I sure hope to fuck you never have anything to do with preparing for the next crisis. Jesus h fucking christ

[ZZenith]

18. WHO IS HOLDING THE NATIONAL GUARD BACK?!!

[mtnsnake]

19. Apparently you missed how long it took for the cops from nearby states to show up.

Or maybe you didn't know about that?

[ZZenith]

20. What does our military have to do with that?

[mtnsnake]

21. There is no need for me to waste another breath of my oxygen

responding to statements that you either think are intelligent or witty. We are done.

[ZZenith]

22. Quit besmirching our military when it's the fault of the civilian leadership.

[SMC22307]

5. It's embarrassing.

My disgust levels are off the charts. 55 minutes to curfew -- let's see how that goes.

[Moostache]

6. Makes "Red Dawn" films look like a road map now...

Sad to see a once great nation reduced to that level of Hollywood fantasy, but here we are...

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

9. Who knew!! I guess I was wrong all these years and Nicaragua, Cuba, Chile, etc, etc. were

actually a legitimate threat to us......

(as if I need to add this)

[sarisataka]

11. Well maybe we can ask

To have martial law declared or invoke the Insurrection Acr... that is what it takes to deploy active military.

Guard members take hours to muster. They are not the fire department waiting for the alarm to go off.

[Sneederbunk]

12. Reminiscent of 9/11 air response.

[KatyMan]

13. IF Bin Laden knew taking the capitol was this easy

9/11 would have been a lot different.

[uponit7771]

14. Right ?!

[keithsw]

15. The military doesn't care

Them and the police departments in this country are a vast majority MAGA'S.

[dware]

23. ...

The military doesn't care
Them and the police departments in this country are a vast majority MAGA'S.

The Military are a vast majority of MAGA's?
That is a flat out lie, yes, there is a small cadre of RWNJ in the Military, but the vast majority of the Military take their Oath very seriously and will not align themselves with these MAGAt traitors.

Quit lying about our Military.

[keithsw]

24. Did you serve?

I did for 6 years. And I'm telling you a vast majority of the military votes Republican.

[dware]

25. 35 years in the Marines,

and 2 of those years were in the Security Forces and we knew who the troublemakers were, and vast majority the Military did not vote for Pissolini, Pres. Biden won the majority of the Military vote.

New Poll: Most Members of the Military Would Vote for Joe Biden

A new poll shows that a majority of active-duty military personnel disapprove of Donald Trump and would vote for Joe Biden if the election were held today.

The shock new poll was published Monday by Military Times, which describes itself as an “independent voice for news about service members.” The poll was conducted in conjunction with Syracuse University.

16. Because its DC, the POTUS has to activate them.

They cannot come in unless he does that. There was a report earlier from the WaPo who called the Pentagon to see if the Army was activated, and they denied it. Then a few hours later we start to hear they are being activated.

This is all on Trump. He didn't call the National Guard until after the Capitol was breached by his own people.
