- chasd00 9mo agoNo it would not be better, it would be a disaster. The Army (and especially Marines) are trained to the point of muscle memory to respond to aggression with overwhelming deadly force. It's not a good idea to task them with handling protestors like it's not a good idea to task a trained fighting dog to play at a dog park.
- jpkw 9mo agoCome on now, by this logic marines should not be allowed to live in the US at all as they couldn't be trusted to go out in public without strangling someone for doing something that they deem a potential threat.
- darvid 9mo agowhat is ICE in this trained dog analogy?
