The reenactment would be more convincing if they arranged the aircraft to look like train cattle cars and packed the deportees more tightly inside.
Next you'll tell me they're wearing pointy white "balaclavas".
ICE is already wearing non-pointy ones to hide their faces while they illegally detain people.
Makes sense, they don't want to be pointed out from a lineup for just following orders.
They're not military. Just larping bitches. Also, in America public employees that aren't allowed to hide.
Edit: public employees that could be let go to trim the budget... Someone should let Pres Ellen and Orange Burger sucker know they missed the big fiscal bleed.

Pick one. Assign blame.
Gary Ashworth was the first name i saw and he has a very punchable face
No names, no unit numbers, no way to definitively recognize any given individual at a glance?
So... hypothetically... someone who's not part of one of the active units, but who has the uniform, the ability to act the part, and the information required to make it happen, might be able to blend in with the oppressors during a military operation? Hmm.
o but pfft don't listen to me. I'm just a wild-talking stoner with ADHD

If someone's got all that, then they're active military members. Also, the squadron would instantly recognize you as a new face and you'd suddenly become the center of attention within minutes. Even if you have a convincing story, everyone wants to know where you sit in the chain of command. Hell, the way civilians stand would make you stick out.
I literally have every piece of issued flight gear I was given, including my helmet and O2 hook up... I've been retired for 12 years. They don't take it back and give it to someone else when you leave.
If you've been retired 12 years, then we served at the same time... It also means that your uniform (ABU) is no longer in service. Even if the ABU was still in service, id have a lot of work to do before I could blend in again... And I'm sure you would as well 😂
I wore flight suits, mostly... But my point was that if someone had served recently they'd still have all their gear. The gear isn't the hard part of the OPs proposal.
A Guide to Getting Out of the US Military (Now) w/ the GI Rights Hotline
It's much easier than the Pentagon wants you to think. Whether you're in the military or know someone who is, this is the definitive guide to walking away. And as Biden's support for genocide spins out into new US wars across the Middle East, from the Red Sea to Iraq, now would be a good time to walk away.
Featuring special guest Maria Santelli, longtime counselor with the GI Rights Hotline, which provides secure, free and expert support to any service member who wants to leave the military.
CALL the hotline anytime at 1-877-447-4487 for advice, or visit them online at https://girightshotline.org/
Maria is Executive Director of the Center on Conscience and War: https://centeronconscience.org/ GI Rights Hotline
I am not sure leaving now and letting people who may not have scruples about illegal orders remain is a good idea. If anything, it may be the opposite.
Fuck's sake
Same thing they did when beating up and shooting BLM.
Edit: It’a really hard to find any report on the events during the BLM protests. I distinctly remember many mentions of the LEOs involved in shooting “rubber bullets” at protesters and beating them not having any identifying information on them. No names, no agency tags, nothing.

So, they are considered unlawful combatants? And therefore do not get the protections afforded under the Geneva Conventions, right?
Right?
Talk about jumping 4 steps down the road.
They are uniformed. No global convention or agreement mandates those elements be on a uniform. The nametag, unit patch, and other items on the uniform are just ways that force happens to enhance identification within the unit.
They are identified as uniformed members of a military force. This satisfies the convention.
None of this matters or applies at all given that there is no combat occurring that would fall under the Geneva convention. So they could be plain clothes officers and it wouldn’t apply.
Trump is a sack of dog turds, and what he is doing is largely stupid speed run overreach, but this hyperbolic shit just harms credibility of the already massive list of shit he is violating.
So like a secret police force? Hmmm where have I heard that term before...
