quote:DC is federal jurisdiction. I’m personally not a huge fan of having a large military presence on the streets there but I can’t really argue its legality. So are you saying that Marines are going to be walking down the streets in Chicago getting shot in the neck?
Why would they do anything different in Chiraq?

For the most part? What’s the other part?
Is there a press release stating the mission scope of the federal forces in Chicago?

Operational roles such as?
Guarding federal buildings, assisting ICE and CBP in immigration enforcement. These are the ones I would support.
Anything else I’m opposed to.

Real discussion on what?
On the role of federal troops swing deployed across the United States in operational roles.

It’s hard to tell around here because there literally was a guy saying it would be a good idea to have troops on every corner.
So maybe everyone should just say they’re against having federal troops policing our cities and then we can have a real discussion.

I don’t think a reasonable or rational discussion can even be had on the subject as long as some participants in the conversation continue to refuse to accept that the true and actual suggestion is that a limited federal presence/effort be directed at a specific objective, one that must be extreme enough to warrant such, and lastly that a predetermined definition of “success” be established. What that all means is there is no “marine on every corner,” wherever they please throughout the entire country even if there be no apparent need at all. That idea of the concept is imagination gone haywire. And apparently those so vocally and vehemently outraged over any such idea would have to say that in a situation such as a New Orleans in the immediate aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the unbridled lawlessness that was not otherwise going to be gotten under control, federal assistance along these same lines was an “un-American” travesty as well. I didn’t see military personnel stick around to present day. Those aren’t difficult thoughts.
Are we comparing post Katrina lawlessness high crime cities today? No reasonable and rational person would.
Are we saying that the sole mission of federal troops would be to secure federal property in high property areas? Because if so then you should tell that to the MANY posters in this thread and other threads that the Marines won’t be policing common crime and taking out gangbangers.

Well that's what some are doing versus terrorizing citizens.
Maybe so. But many in this thread want way more than that. And that’s what this discussion has been about.
Also seems like a waste of highly trained US Marines to be guarding random low level government buildings if I’m being honest. Just federalize the national guard and use them if that’s all that’s needed.

How about protecting federal buildings?
Sure. It’s the federal governments job to secure and protect federal property.
But that’s not what this discussion has really been about.

How about assisting?
Also UnAmerican. Pretty sure our founders were against having a standing army for just that reason. Obviously that’s out the window now.
But as I’ve said before I’d be okay with troops assisting ICE and CBP in immigration enforcement in sanctuary cities that refuse to follow federal laws.

My opinion is that having the US military combating crime in local cities in UnAmerican

there should be US Marines on every street corner, gas station and classroom to protect every citizen from potential violence.
Would this be a bad thing?

Again, I'll explain for like the third time now, no, I don't want this to happen. I just understand it was foretold 7 fricking years ago and have been warning people about it for that entire time while your retarded arse insisted it would never happen. So no, it isn't cool, but it's fricking happening just like we told you it would. It is apparently necessary and I can see why they've determine that. I don't like it, but that's the way the ball lies, dipshit. Deal with it.
I don’t know whatever fricking prophecy you heard 7 years ago is and I don’t care. As far as I’m concerned anyone who wants the military running around the country policing everyone is not a real American. You can go to Mexico and Guatemala with all the illegals as far as I’m concerned. Or move to the UK or Australia so daddy can police you harder.

That may strike you as cheesy, but those pursuits are sorta the cornerstone of the “American experiment,” are they not?
There’s nothing “American” about having federal troops patrolling our cities. There is no constitutional right to live in a crime free country.

There's definitely areas that need a far heavier police presence than other areas.

There's several big cities that should be on total lock down.
Wait, I thought we wanted the troops there to protect constitutional rights.

They may be. But it’s more of fashion statement for them most likely. They’re clearly so afraid of their own shadow that they need the Marines to keep them safe on their way to work.
