Apparently they just purged ICE leadership and replaced them with people from Border Patrol and Customs and Border Protection. The imperial boomerang is about to hit harder.

Trump has a limited amount of goodwill with the military, and it seems like he's overestimating how much of it remains. So far, he hasn't been paying his guys, pissing off high command, and other nonsense. This kind of stuff lowers morale as no servicemember joins to attack Americans. It's almost like he's trying to get himself couped.

Those evil ghouls are going to salivate at the chance to kill people in the internal colonies

I was once debased and among those ranks - never met anyone who'd be okay with just invading a US city. There's never really been a mental permission structure set up in the military for this. It was more of a sense of 'we need to protect our paradise back home' mentality.

The trope of the "inner city" hellhole which is "like Afghanistan" has been implanted for a while. The soldiers wont hesitate.

A not insignificant amount of rank and file in the military are from inter cities though.

I don't believe you enough to go to the US to find out. I think with the right incentive brainwashed evil genocidal ghouls will do whatever they are told.

Oh, you don't live here?! Yeah, avoid the US like the plague then! You and everyone else it seems is officially not welcome as far as the admin is concerned anyway.

And yeah, I don't blame you for not believing you'd be safe, the US is a fucking wild place and is not to be trusted.

Downside is, there's probably a sizable chunk of the military that falls into the "go along to get along" gang. They might not like invading a US city or providing armed escorts during ICE raids, but they are also not going to resist doing those things.
