Oh – sorry, I understand the protests are about immigration, which is not exactly a domestic issue. I’m talking about the deployment of the national guard.
The deployment of the military domestically, using tactics and technology that were field tested in Israel and US battlefields, is inextricably linked to our foreign policy.
The implication that there is any division between the two topics is insanely obtuse.
I was expecting you to have a much deeper connection than just “it’s the same tactics.” Like yeah obviously if you learn something in one place you can apply it to another similar situation.

No, you just don’t understand how the two are intertwined.
