The Pentagon has ordered 1,500 US troops based in Alaska to prepare to deploy to Minnesota as a precautionary measure in case the administration decides to send them, a US official said, speaking on condition of anonymity. The unit of the 11th Airborne Division is a cold-weather unit nicknamed “The Arctic Angels.”

Just a reminder that levying war is against the United States like this is the one thing the Constitution actually defines as a crime: Treason.

Don’t.

    I think they all do as they’re told

    Maybe true for marines less than six month out of training, but that’s not who trump is sending.

    He wants to send fucking airborne rangers, specifically an artic division out of Alaska.

    ICE is 100% going to want to act like equals and when that immediately fails they will try to be extra violent to impress them.

    And airborne rangers are not just going to let them run wild on civilians.

      There is no difference between a marine and a fed and a local cop and a politician and an airborne ranger and an ICE agent.

      They will ALL do the job they get paid for.

          I’ve met lots of people from groups like this who keep doing it because they get paid.

          Can you name anyone who has stood up and kept their job? Exactly, you old fucking centrist fart.

          Enjoy your retirement without social security and Medicare lmfao.

            I get insulted a lot for my political beliefs, but that’s a new one
