The military parade is running to the political malestrom while Trump is deploying forces to Los Angeles
This is not the image that army officials wanted.
While the tanks, armored forces and artillery systems flow to Washington to celebrate the 250th birthday of the army, the National Guard forces were deployed from the Brigade Combat team in the Army 79, which is completed by the active naval infantry, in the streets of Los Angeles.
It is a rapprochement that includes officials and military experts.
Many of the current and former army officials said that the military parade and other celebrations on Saturday – which is also the ninety -seventh birthday of President Trump – could make it look as if the army was celebrating the campaign against the Americans.
“The unfortunate coincidence of the show and the National Guard of the California will feel bishops,” said Curry Chic, a former defense department official in the George W. Bush, who directs foreign and defensive policy studies at the American Institute of Institutions.
Dr. Shoki was not considered at the beginning that the show is a big problem, but it is now concerned about the “rapid escalation by the administration” in Los Angeles.
Max Rose, a former member of the Democratic Congress and an old warrior in the army, said that the two scenes are “eroding confidence in the army at a time when the army should be a symbol of national unity.”
He said: “They are spreading the National Guard in a direct contradiction with what the state and local authorities requested, and at the same time there is this huge offer with a more suitable presentation of Russia and North Korea.”
It was not clear exactly what Mr. Trump and the Ministry of Defense used to deploy the active naval in an American city. The Posse Comitaus law generally prohibits the provision of actual forces in home service unless the president calls for a slightly rebellion law.
But by order, Mr. Trump was martyred in his national command in California, and he cited the 10th of the United States Law, which sets the legal basis for the use of American military forces.
Mr. Trump wanted to summon the rebellion law to use military forces in effective service against demonstrators in black life during his first term. But the Minister of Defense, Mark T. Esber, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, General Mark A. Millie, opposed this step, and Mr. Trump.
The moment has proven to be a collapse point between Mr. Trump and the Pentagon. The president eventually launched Mr. Esber, and suggested that General Millie be executed.
This time, the Minister of Defense of Mr. Trump, Beit Higseth, encouraged him.
Within minutes of Mr. Trump on Sunday to deploy the first 2000 National Guard forces to join the immigration protests scattered in Los Angeles, Mr. Higseth threatened to deploy the active naval infantry from Camp Bandalton. (The Marines who spread Monday night from Twentynine Palms, a base about 150 miles east of Los Angeles, but Mr. Higseth continued to say the Bandalton camp, which is about 100 miles south of the city).
By Monday night, 700 naval infantry and 2000 National Guard soldiers have been activated to a large extent that have so far caused relatively slight damage to buildings or companies. On Tuesday, Mr. Trump said that anyone protesting the show in Washington “will meet very great power.”
Mr. Higseth defended the publication of Congress on Tuesday, saying: “We must be able to impose the immigration law in this country.”
The period of Mr. Higseth was defined by amplifying the president. With the enthusiasm of the army’s plans to hold a rare military procession, 150 military vehicles, including 28 tanks and 28 heavy armored forces transport companies, will launch in the streets of the capital, and gave Mr. Trump the celebration he wanted for years.
Democratic lawmakers and some of the ancient military warriors expressed their fear that Mr. Higseth, himself as the veterans of the National Guard that was deployed against the Black Hayat demonstrators in 2020, was taking the army where he was less traditional wanted to be: in the midst of a political battle.
“The president’s decision to contact the National Guard forces to Los Angeles was premature, and the decision to deploy the active navy as well as an explicit escalation.” “The active army in service has no role at all in the application of local law, and they are not trained in these tasks.”
One of the Defense officials said that the Pentagon’s lawyers believed that they had found some space in the 10th ruling, which Mr. Trump used to order the National Guard forces to Los Angeles against the wishes of the California governor, Gavin New News.
Marines will help protect federal properties and federal agents in Los Angeles, the northern leadership of the US Army He said in a statement.
However, unlike law enforcement officers or even the National Guard forces, who exercise control of crowds during protests, the active service forces are trained to respond to threats quickly and put a deadly force.
“I do not hold a position that the recall of the rebellion law is necessary at this stage,” said Daniel Morrier, retired lieutenant in the army, who served as the lawyer for the General Judge. ” “It is almost similar to the width of the strength of the Maga base, if you will.” Mr. MAURER is now a law professor at North Ohio University.
Fears of the show appeared even before the Trump administration deployed the forces in Los Angeles.
“The challenge facing the show along the show was how to celebrate the army’s 250 -year contribution in the Republic while avoiding politicization that comes from our current polarized party environment,” said Peter Fever, a professor of political science at Duke University, who studied the army for decades. “This challenge is much more difficult when some units are seen at the same time that other units are seen as they wear a general protest.”
Speaking on condition that his identity is not disclosed to avoid the alienation of Mr. Trump, she would leave the city during the events.
Jeanisa Goldick, a veteran warrior in the naval weapon, is now a first adviser to the group of voices of the old warriors, that she was concerned that the Marines and the National Guard were leading a political bet that could harm their relations with the American public.
She said: “The youth and women who participated in the service, to volunteer in their societies, to respond to forest fires and other natural disasters,” are now placed in this position political dice. “
