Does the national guard ask themselves if they are the fascists? Or have they known and dont care?

As a Marine vet it is pretty clear that most of these people are in "just following orders" mode, they're forgetting their oaths and that just following orders doesn't fly, they need a good reminder.

The liberals, of course.
