They realize the real “her” is not the person competent and trustworthy enough to lead this country.

Alarming recent revelations have surfaced regarding two members of the Virginia Army National Guard—Staff Sgts. Daniel Abbott and Alexandra Griffeth, actively leading a county-approved militia making direct threats against the government they are sworn to protect. The Campbell County Militia, led by Abbott, openly promotes anti-government rhetoric and violence, in direct violation of established rules. Both Abbott and Griffeth, serving as noncommissioned officers within the Guard, have access to military resources, raising concerns about national security and the dangerous intersection between military service and extremist movements. The presence of individuals like Abbott and Griffeth within the military poses a significant threat when they misuse their position to promote anti-government ideologies. Our military, founded on principles of integrity and service, cannot tolerate actions that undermine the government they are sworn to defend. The militia's local approval exacerbates the issue, shedding light on broader systemic challenges that demand attention. It is crucial to remain vigilant and ensure accountability among military and local officials. Extremism has no place in the armed forces. #VeteransAgainstExtremism #NationalSecurity #Extremism #USArmy #PoliticalViolence #LeadershipMatters

A proposal to save lives during protests, riots, and other public order incidents: To any member of the Military "shoot" means "shoot", not stun. This is a failure of communication stemming from a lack of unified communication doctrine between Military and the law enforcement around them who issued the command to "hit it." The word for engaging a suspect with a LESS-LETHAL weapon must not be "shoot" for the reason clearly illustrated - it can get people shot with regular bullets. I propose that the order to fire any less-lethal projectile should universally be "STUN" and not "shoot"(or "hit it") in both Military and Law Enforcement circles to eliminate confusion. (Marker rounds in this case were intended to psychologically stun and prevent the driver from endangering the line) #LawEnforcement #Military #PublicSafety #PublicHealth #Justicereform #LawAndOrder #Reform #Change #Police #Shooting #Soldiers #Veterans #Details #Communication #Training #LawEnforcementTraining #LessonsLearned #SavingLives #CivilService #PublicService #SafetyFirst #SafetyCulture

Interesting to reflect on, after considering the factors that impact current ammunition prices.

One of the primary reasons the founders wanted a strong militia system with a well-armed general public was to minimize or even eliminate the need for a large, permanent standing army, even in times of peace. This drives home the point that the reason for having a well-armed populace isn’t just for shooting deer, or for personal defense, or even for defending against foreign enemies. The founding generation believed it was necessary to reduce the need for a standing army. https://lnkd.in/gSenaGB3

https://lnkd.in/eUUDg67V It's not the pistols and other legally owned weapons by responsible hunters, gun enthusiasts or collectors that contribute to illegal weapons supply. It's unregulated gun shows and other under the counter suppliers who are providing the supply. There's another aspect the government and HS needs to look at also: the massive influx of U.S. military weapons into Mexico. Then again it begs the question - how many U.S. military weapons make their way into the U.S. militias? #illegal weapons #interstate highway system

It’s interesting how different, efficientlyand safely military bases handles teenagers with weapons..compared to civilians.
