    I’m certainly not getting my hopes up, but this being in LA instead of Kabul might have a significant effect on how willingly the rank-and-file will just open up on a crowd.

    There’s a big Navy base in San Diego; some of the Marines are probably coming from there. Some probably grew up in California, more probably visited LA at some point. Going a few hours to a place where people speak your language and there is an In-and-Out Burger down the street is very different from going halfway across the world to a place where you recognize little and understand far less.

      Honestly it depends people have become pretty divided, I’m sure there are enough freaks in the Maga media cult that no longer see their fellow citizens as humans but just as a part of the woke mob. The direct and logical conclusion of the culture war was always an actual fucking war.
