There was absolutely no reason they were in Washington D.C. to become targets of that piece of crap shooter (mentally ill or traumatized from being in Afghanistan or influenced by radical Islamic or political thoughts I dont care) and the easy accessibility of guns in America no doubt led to his being able to
get a weapon to hurt those good people who should have been home in West Virginia with their families
for the Holidays.
So what does Trump and Hegseth do? They send another 500 unneeded and illegal National Guard Troops* to D.C. where they can become targets for Dog only knows what reason.
* "Posse comitatus" has two meanings: the Posse Comitatus Act, a U.S. law that prohibits the use of federal military for domestic law enforcement unless authorized by Congress, and the historical legal concept of "the power of the county", which is the authority of a sheriff to call citizens for assistance.
Trump is an ignorant mad man that has no business being President. BTW doesnt every city that Trump
has sent troops to have an African American as mayor?

The first victim a female Guard member was struck immediately and collapsed where she stood. She sustained at least two gunshot wounds during the ambush, the sources said.
Then, the suspect took her weapon and used it to continue shooting, striking the second Guard member, according to multiple sources. A third Guard member, who was not injured, ultimately returned fire, ending the attack.

(194,206 posts)as we were in the Army on any field problem and some guard duty but we werent given ammo. Given the amount of time we were in close quarters with each other that was pretty smart to do.
