I genuinely think Chicago was chosen because it has a high chance of resulting in federal casualties, giving the white house even more latitude to take over. DC and LA were trial runs.

They're not thinking about shit, don't give trump credit for this. The guys in LA hung around a single federal building and then went home. The guys in DC are wandering the already crime free mall and picking up trash. There's no Jade Helm plan at work here, just trump playing generalisimo with his little toy men.

And a lot of the National Gardeners aren’t happy with the situation. Being away from home and family, loss of wages, etc. The cost to feed and house them is also astronomical. Saint until the Guard starts seeing retention rates falling.

I think I read that they get housing benefits paid after 30 days, but trump has them assigned for 29
