The US military is not primary threat at this time. The threat is ICE. [View all]

It is not the US military that is beating people, dragging them out of their cars, kicking down their doors and taking the women and children. It is not the US military that is disappearing people. At least, not at this time. The people that are doing these dastardly deeds are the Immigration and Customs Enforcement people.

They are dangerous to a large degree because the Congress appropriated them a huge budget for their "work". They are reportedly the fifth largest "army" in the world. And they are a private army for Donald J Trump. They swear loyalty to him and the $50K bonus he promises them. And there is no time limit on the time they can serve? They do not have a six-month tour of duty, as far as I know?

At this time, the real threat to all of us is ICE and their henchmen, not the US Military.
