What do you think?

If the military finds the need to make a statement like this they see a serious threat. I see the statement calming things down at least a little. With the charges building up against the rioters and now directed military support of the election it won't seem like a game anymore. Actions have consequences.

On an internal level it gives commanders authority to restrict attendance of protests. It should cut down on members of the military attending protests and inevitability getting caught.

That sounds agreeable to say the least.

Yeah, this was pretty stupid.

Stupid, but not surprising.

How is this playing out on your end?

Lol, kinda crazy that people just forgot about that whole thing.

As far as command, no one has said a word about it. I'm still in a training unit and I don't think it's really on anyone's "important enough to educate" list.

How were you able to compile all the videos taken into a google map?

I didn't, I stole it off Twitter.

My understanding is that justice, in this case, has been aided and abetted by amateurish standards on the part of Parler.
