At least the part about the doubling of the military salaries, they started. Not with the “old” military, but with the new forces, ICE. The increase in their budget is troubling, and the starting bonus and pay are shocking for a job that requires only loyalty as qualification.
How do you think a firefight between ICE and the National Guard would go?
That’s more my point. ICE can fuck up plenty of the helpless, and that might include you and me soon enough. But my point is that co-opting the forces that actually know what they’re doing is often a good accompaniment to that idea, and they’re not even making vague attempts at doing anything like that, they are doing the opposite.
