Are the Marines (and National Guard) going to receive ribbons or patches for being deployed to L.A. to arrest gardeners?

No disrespect intended, but they are a proud lot, and I am more interested to know how they would react.

flood victims or basically anything that could actually help people. What a self-indulgent waste of everybody's time and money.
