I haven't seen National Guard and active-duty soldiers quelling any unrest recently .. the deployment to the west coast appears to be a mix of sleeping rough and unrequired performance theatre while the LAPD and state forces have things well in hand.
Ah yes, "things well in hand" <https://ktla.com/news/local-news/city-officials-issue-curfew...>
Yeah, I've seen footage of two nights of the curfew going into effect .. zero need for federal troops, the locals had it covered.
I'm from a five eyes ally and the US looks weak with this banana republic behaviour.
