Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by Donald Trump.
The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.
Reuters images showed Marines apprehending the man, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.
You know I really thought the Marines in this situation would keep their heads and just…not comply. Pretty easy to just sit there and not do anything.
They literally eat crayons, bro.
?
I’m could be wrong, but I think the military has an inside joke that marines are really dumb. Like they are really good soldiers but they are really stupid and would eat a crayon not noticing that it’s not food.
But I’m not in the military, so I could be way off.
So strange to me. In my personal life by chance, of my veteran friends, the Marines are the smartest by far. But bias bc most of them I know from my nerd high school, and other branches vets from non nerd life.
I don’t know where the joke originated but some marines now eat crayons for the meme
Not if you are in the military, they train men to follow orders, usually without question and under stress.
Good soldiers follow orders
Good soldiers follow orders
Good soldiers follow orders
Hey there, I’ve been trying to reach you about your chip’s extended warranty!
It’s really hard to keep your mental acuities about you after eating so many crayons.
That’s why you should join the Air Force
Anecdotally, service members are majority boot lickers. I’m going to baselessly claim that marines in particular are some of the worst, and that many sign up just for the title and the discount. 0 respect for these traitors.
They offered them a 64 box of Crayola. You really expect them to ignore that offer?
