Several service members told advocacy groups they felt like pawns in a political game and assignment was unnecessary
California national guards troops and marines deployed to Los Angeles to help restore order after days of protest against the Trump administration have told friends and family members they are deeply unhappy about the assignment and worry their only meaningful role will be as pawns in a political battle they do not want to join.
Three different advocacy organisations representing military families said they had heard from dozens of affected service members who expressed discomfort about being drawn into a domestic policing operation outside their normal field of operations. The groups said they have heard no countervailing opinions.
“The sentiment across the board right now is that deploying military force against our own communities isn’t the kind of national security we signed up for,” said Sarah Streyder of the Secure Families Initiative, which represents the interests of military spouses, children and veterans.
Me too troops and marones. Me too.
Believe it or not the word is actually spelled Madone. It’s the italian way of saying Madonna (Mary, mother of jesus). Italian americans mangle the d to sound closer to an r.
I’m sat here in Italy wondering che cazzo you’re talking about until I reached the word “Americans”. Because of course you were talking about Americans.
Yeah, italian americans bastardized a bunch of italian words. I have to check my pronunciation in colombia when i talk to the italian shopkeeper near me because he has one way of saying the word. I have another. and the colombians have a third. It can be confusing at times.
