Deploying Marines to patrol Los Angeles streets like it’s Kandahar wasn’t just an overreach—it was a misfire. And the troops know it. Reports from the ground confirm morale is plummeting. No clear mission. No exit strategy. No legal clarity.

Trump leaned on Title 10 to federalize the National Guard and send them into a civilian protest zone. That’s not standard military protocol. That’s posturing dressed up as command authority.

The Pentagon’s civilian purge? That’s just the second punch. You don’t need oversight when your goal is compliance. You don’t need balance when your enemy is accountability.

It’s not about readiness. It’s about control.
