Local donations from businesses such as pizza shops, a staple of domestic Guard deployments, often help fill gaps, but this time, the community has largely stayed away.
One midlevel officer said their unit would receive “extremely generous” help when deployed to combat wildfires, including water, sports drinks and food, which played a significant role in morale and tightened the Guard-community relationship.
“This is a situation [where] we’re against the community,” the officer told Military.com on the condition of anonymity to avoid retaliation.
I’m honestly so happy to hear enough businesses aren’t subsidizing these losers’ existence that they are actually complaining about it.
Hope they go hungry and are forced to sleep out on the streets while Trump refuses to pay them.
: I mean I support the troops but I have to make a profit; I’m not running a charity here!
Bringing them into direct personal conflict with newsom, alien vs predator style
Is it ok when you don’t pay your soldiers? Does that usually go well?
“Always pay your guys on time. Don’t try telling them you can pay them later, the moment you admit you don’t have the money they’re no longer your guys.”
Usually not
But then again, the US has a history of being like “Yeah, we’ll pay you” and then not doing that
No, it doesn’t.
On top of that, the military tends to have a lot of immigrants join due to the fact they can fast track naturalization by doing so. This being the California National Guard, I wonder how many of these soldiers have friends and/or family who have been kidnapped, or are under the threat of being kidnapped, by ICE.
I suspect morale is completely in the shitter for these people right now.
Channel 5 did a short 11 minute video of the cop/guard lines outside the detention center and yeah, there were a lot of immigrants on the wrong side. The people protesting even knew some of them and were shaming them.
Cool starve you pieces of shit. I hope the next time yall get sent to a wildfire your deployment ends unexpectedly and abruptly.
“This is a situation [where] we’re against the community,”
This is like that time NG was sent to the border and they kept shooting each other on accident while complaining they had to sleep outside with no Taco Bell or McDonald’s to eat even tho there was one like 2 feet away.
always pay your guys
weird, I wonder what the difference is between supporting emergency fire fighting efforts and brutalizing unarmed assemblies of people not wanting to be brutalized and disappeared.
truly, an inscrutable mystery.
get scammed by your class enemies idiots
absolutely timeless
