I think this is another one of Miller's attempts to force confrontation personally.
Otherwise, you have to be the dumbest m*********** on the planet to put a bunch of middle aged fatties with their ~7 weeks of training against a whole Company+ of 18-21 year olds who just spent the last 13 weeks training to fight and kill.

No. Hard not that.
No one wants military involved in ICE confrontations.
This is to weed out "disloyal" marines. Anyone who pushes back gets a dishonorable discharge and probably heavy charges. It forces compliance and gets rid of any possible "problem" marines.

You're applying logic to an administration that just started bombing Iran because they could. I can respect that thinking, but up is down these days...
Besides, there's also the fact that no marine coming out of boot camp right now joined before the Trump administration started. If you joined while he's president, you knew who you were going to have to take orders from. They are already loyal, there's no need to filter them at this point.

I hope. It leads me to wonder what effect it would have if there are no immigrants to arrest.

Oh, I'm sure they'll have no trouble finding people when there are no more immigrants to put in the concentration camps with the biohazard incinerators...

I was just listening to a general on NPR talk about the cooling effect this administration will have on women and poc joining the military and to that I say thank f***. Our brothers and sisters do not need to be dying for a backwards ass country like the US that is doing paper checks on their own soldier’s families.

Who in the world would or could rationally think or argue that U.S. Marines are not qualified or competent to guard their own training camps and bases? Something Marines have done since 1776.
Deploying ICE to terrorize new Marine recruits' family and friends at Parris Island drill camp graduation ceremonies is BEYOND EVIL.
Doing so while deploying Marines in harm's way as cannon fodder to Trump & Friends self-serving war EXPONENTIALLY illustrates how THEY view and treat both veterans and minorities as disposable garbage.
From 2024 to 2026, approximately 23% to 29% of active-duty Marines identified as Hispanic or Latino. Over time, this percentage has steadily increased.
Hispanics/Latinos are the largest minority group represented in the USMC - and are the highest proportion of Hispanics/Latinos of all the US military branches.
Their military contribution exceeds their overall US population contribution.

Trump treats gardeners and roofers better than Marines. One of these groups will have their families deported and then be sent to die by our president.

I was just thinking this today having survived a R government, bluest possible state recruiting bid with my husband, I don't envy them or their families right now. Most of his office ended up divorced before it was over.
