He might have tried to use them on January 6 to do this here in America. Instead, the Pentagon disarmed him, effectively disarming the DC Guard & taking him out of the chain of command in a January 4 memo. One day after all 10 living former defense secretaries published a letter to Trump warning him to not try to use the military in his effort to overturn the election.

I'm really looking forward to the truth behind that memo coming out.
