i remember reading some post on here from a fellow pede talking about a video in dc with the NG he wanted to know of they were armed because apparently being armed would distinguish between the type of NG idk some more hopiem for everyone. Gotta huff every last bit of it.

Unsure if the DC guys are armed with rifles or not, unless the rifles are being carried by vehicle. Armed soldiers marching in DC would cause a much bigger stir if they were carrying openly, so I'd expect concealed carry such as compact SMG or PDWs in their rucks or something, and a service pistol.

The convoy in TX is definitely armed, you can see the top-mounted guns on them.

EDIT: at ~50 seconds you can see the infantryman behind that vehicle carrying a rifle.

We have always convoyed for FTX (field training exercise) with weapons.

Impossible to say for sure right now.

Most likely. I would still carry my m249 for exercises but no live rounds.

Even when on guard duty you weren’t issued ammo. We were told to have the MPs do the shooting.

These guys aren't on guard duty or on a base.

We would travel between bases in Texas and surrounding states for exercises.

Well no shit. 249 with live rounds is a crew serve and a bitch to do.

If they are traveling with ammo, it probably isn’t loaded right now. The risk of misfire before mission go time would fuck up any major coordination.

You and I both know that you don’t give live ammo to privates until you’re sure you want holes in everything in that area.

Police State, here we come. No we have TWO types of police state hammering us down (Big Tech AND the Military). Yay.

Well who is commander in chief? No 25th, no time for impeachment, no Pelosi coup. Rumored insurrection act. Weeks of advice from generals and lawyers for Trump to use the military, more likely than not they are under Trump's command.

Either Trump is using the insurrection act or Nanci is conducting a military coup against the sitting president... or maybe neither and they're just running a training drill

Bundabar 10 points ago +10 / -0

It’s not abnormal. I’ve done it.

Back in 2002 or so we’d drive between bases for exercises and stop at truck stops for refueling.

Probably from Fort Hood, in central Texas. Cold night to be practicing that... lol!! It snowed all over Texas today. Glad to have a vet explain this

Everyone on here is saying you guys normally never do it armed, is that true or false?

2
Bundabar 2 points ago +2 / -0

I've done it a half dozen times or so (given it was back around 02) and every time we were armed. There was NEVER a question of if we should take our guns or not.

I wonder if they're hunting someone down.

Okay so I did a little research on what we're seeing in the video, and I have some info to share about my findings

The vehicles seen, or at least the four that pass by, are all 'Stryker' ICVs. These are used pretty much exclusively by the Army (and by extension, the National Guard).

As it pertains to Texas, there are a couple of operators that are relevant; 1st Armored Division, operating out of Fort Bliss, and 3rd Cavalry, which operates out of Fort Hood.

I hope it is the chinese or russia, If they are planning on using that stuff on us, they would be in for a rude awakening.

You guys have degraded to the point where you're losing your shit over some fucking loser trucker and a hooker going crazy over something that happens ten times a day

From my understanding they never move around armed
