There’s no infrastructure for 25k soldiers and they damn sure aren’t letting them put up tents on the Capitol grounds.

4 hours a day and just sleeping on floors. Been hearing lots of mixed news on their ammo/firearms

Please do and thanks for sharing. With all the inflated “reports” coming in, there’s something reassuring hearing from a regular pair of “boots on the ground.”

Prepping them up to be disposable throwaway bodies for a real war, This happened in vietnam and it will happen again.

They are weakening and demoralizing them.

Well it sounds like they are not just getting to stand around. Trying to keep them awake and alert. Thats good. Thanks for putting the info up.

Well the lack of sleep I could see that. But idling doing nothing is not healthy either. Why would they go out their way to demoralize them? My son is no longer in the military I will have to ask him for some insight. It is almost like they are punishing these guys for supporting the country and doing their job.

No. That’s just normal for the Army.

Couple of my buddies from my old unit got sent to the border last year or whenever. Lodging was shit and there wasn’t enough food for everyone.

Part of being in the Army is getting treated like shit, doing things that make no sense all the time or specifically to look like you’re doing something and saying roger for all of it.

So nah, this is totally normal behavior from my experience. But I was infantry. Desk jobs are treated like humans for the most part. Sucks to suck for the non-combat people there getting a taste of what life in the infantry is like.

My son was army reserve. He was mechanic. But he got out on medical. He doesn't talk much about his experience. He talks about anything else.

4 hours?? who is getting 4 hours??? "Suck it up" I do miss the Navy, but lack of sleep and going from 12 hour nite shift to 12 hour day shift with quarters and PT was not one of the things. MA3...

4 hours is boot camp. 4 hours was not normal for me... Navy. deployed was 12 on 12 off. On a ship that is 4 hours off with thumb up your butt, and 6 more on shift with thumb up your butt.

I have no problem with them marching, idling isnt good either. but theres no reason they shouldnt be allowed to sleep properly. zero reason, they are not short on numbers.

there is a much larger game being played that ppl dont realize. so many of the politicians have inside deals with the chinese. china does military training with canada, within canada, and there are a far number of chinese troops in canada east/west coast. EU just did a deal with China. Also, it should be noted that many of our news media people went to events in china, which boil down to spreading pro china news.

CNN achors were even talking about wanting to deplatform newsmax and OAN for "hate."

At the end of the day, the election was completely rigged and the media covered it up, among many other coverups, they will remove conservative media, biden will undo most of trumps policy, paving the way for china to continue its economic tyranny. If there is no platform that allows free speech/conservative platform... you understand what happens.

So if the concern is that members of the nG have sympathy for trump, they are being reeducated as we speak.

My son says there is some sort of base 75 miles north of where we live it is not a nato base like we thought. He does not know but thinks there are chinese troops there. This area is wide open no way to stop anyone coming through. He says he heard the other day a chinese guy was somewhere along the border was caught. If chinese are going to be coming down it will be right on the road not far from our place. At this point I am not sure what the hell is going to happen but I hope to hell he is wrong about that base.

i dont think your sons wrong. essentially the deal china made with canada is that if china puts its "assetts/business" in canada, that they can put chinese soldiers on it to protect it and that they do not need to notify the local canadian authorities of their presence. so all they need to say is thats an asset and boom, now they can have a chinese military base. a month or so back we shot down a drone coming over the great lakes, it landed in michigan i think. it tried to use a commercial jet for coverage / entry into US. that jet was a chinese, going to NY i think. i dont quite remember the exact details.

Shesaidwhat79 1 point ago +1 / -0

Well that chinese guy was by himself so I guess he was given back to the Canadians or sent back to that base. My guess he was going to defect. There is no military close to area that I am talking about. My son wonders what could be done to stop them from crossing into our state. Its just barbwire fence. I say get the farmers in the area involved to take out roads to stop transport of equipment. Beyond that I have no idea. I told my son that had been in the military he was going to be our go to guy or designated leader. But all 3 of my sons are good men and have good brains. I am counting on that when the chips are down they will handle themselves well. We have seen drones but assumed they belonged to our border patrol. God I hope they belong to our guys had not really thought about that till just now.

ya keep your eyes peeled. the one thing we have going for us is theyre driven by evil / forced to do what china wants, but they are brainwashed so even if they defect, dont trust them. wish you well!

What does him marching a lot and sleeping for 4 hours have to do with what the media says?

11
burritolivesmatter [S] 11 points ago +13 / -2

I worded that badly, he said 'don't listen to what the media is saying'. And he said they are marching them like they are at war, little sleep, sleeping on the floor and endless marching.

Benblishem 12 points ago +12 / -0

Why are they limiting their sleep when there is literally nothing for them to do? Seems not only silly, but even counterproductive.

They do that to make your brain weak.

Keep the troops exhausted and give them ammo, not a good combination. One person fires off a round and they all start panicking, especially at night.

They sleep deprive you in training while you shoot at the range. They don't want you accurate with a gun after 8hrs of sleep and a weekend off but when they woke you up before the sun and and did a bunch of exercise to simulate being in combat

FR33D0M_braveheart 3 points ago +3 / -0

First please do not ask him for operational information. Second 4 hours of sleep on ground is boot camp brain washing... not a good sign. Are they stopping ideal hands or is something going to happen that might cause questions amongst the troops?

burritolivesmatter [S] 1 point ago +1 / -0

Idk, I really don't want to ask him anything

LOL, just sounds like a CO or CSM that can’t stand the sight of idle troops so he’s giving them meaningless shit to do.

Well now we know what Nancy was saying to the troops. She's trying to wear them out so that when GEOTUS signals the arrest command, she can clank off down the street in those ridiculous heels to freedom.
