CNN — Roughly 700 active-duty US Marines who were mobilized last month to respond to protests in Los Angeles are being sent home from the mission, the Pentagon said Monday.

“With stability returning to Los Angeles, the Secretary has directed the redeployment of the 700 Marines whose presence sent a clear message: lawlessness will not be tolerated,” chief Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said in a statement Monday, adding that their “rapid response, unwavering discipline, and unmistakable presence were instrumental in restoring order.” Parnell announced last week that Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth had released 2,000 California National Guard members with the 79th Infantry Brigade Combat Team from duty.

The Marines, with 2nd Battalion, 7th Marines, 1st Marine Division, were mobilized in June and assisted in protecting federal buildings and personnel. They were intended to provide the task force overseeing the federal protection mission in LA “with adequate numbers of forces to provide continuous coverage of the area in support of the lead federal agency,” US Northern Command said at the time.

There are still another roughly 2,000 California Army National Guard soldiers assigned to the mission who were mobilized later in June. California Gov. Gavin Newsom in a statement Monday called for the remaining National Guard soldiers to be withdrawn from the state.

6. I think the latter

It certainly hasn’t endeared the population, or at least some of the population, to the military

2. O, the Grand Old Duke of York he had ten thousand men

3. "With stability returning to Los Angeles..."

Stability never left Los Angeles, you lying clowns.

4. Another criminal traitor says what?

The use of the American military against Americans is a crime. But, the media and their overlords will normalize it however they can.

5. When they say, lawlessness, they mean, lawful exercise of protest and freedom of speech

It’s protected by the constitution. What they are doing with the Marines is in total violation of the constitution

7. We, the tax payers, pay the Marines to be the world's premiere assault force. Not to be Trump's movie props.

We and these Marines have been robbed of six weeks in their training regimen. They must be bored stupid. I'm sure their morale is in the mud. Just thought I'd point that out.

Huge waste of money for no reason except to punish California.

10. Rack up another one for TACO

11. I guess the shock value is gone

The Marines should never have had to "deploy" there but the pols don't need them on TV anymore. At least they get to go home now.

14. Will Chump give them a campaign ribbon?

Something to immortalize the shame of this deployment.
Maybe a $ with a pistol aimed at it.

Chump said the Cold War veterans would get a ribbon back in 1998 or so.

Still waiting asshole!

BTW, GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
