Permission.

Permission? Permissive? Non-permissive?

A comedian but here with what is not comedy.

"Why Trump Doesn’t Just 'Send In the Troops'"

"There are a lot of solid conservatives frustrated and appalled by the Biden Riots, and a lot of those folks wonder why Donald Trump doesn’t just make it all stop – you know, sort of like Grandpa Badfinger implicitly promises he will do if we restore the garbage liberal establishment, except with military force. 'Call up the Guard,' right? But what folks do not understand are the practical problems with Trump using troops (sending federal law enforcement officers presents similar problems, but also a unique and big one – there just aren’t as many federal cops as there are soldiers). The devil is in the details"

CONSIDER THE ARTICLE WITHIN THE CONTEXT OF THE RIOTS THAT HAVE PLAGUED AMERICAN CITIES FOR THE LAST THREE MONTHS GOING ON FOUR NOW!

Devoted readers to the blog will want to read the whole article. I recommend highly without qualification or reservation.

Comments:

* Military forces of any nation have at any given moment a dual role. To repel external aggression and for internal security when the need arises. Enemies external and internal.

* At least with regard to Oregon and Washington state the environment for deployment of troops is non-permissive? Federal help to suppress riots is eschewed?

* Those anarchist elements also involved in the riots their goal insurrection and their organization and techniques actually quite admirable. Capture of a autonomous zone such as CHOP and CHAZ high on their agenda. NO staying-power however. As of yet.

*National Guard and Federal troops if committed to suppress the riots had better hone their fighting skills in the manner of a Roman Legion prior to deployment this from my perspective.

Kurt Schlichter his credentials impeccable: "He is a name partner at a growing Los Angeles trial lawyer, a retired Army Infantry colonel with a masters in Strategic Studies from the United States Army War College, and a former stand-up comic."

And thank you Kurt.
