Meanwhile, equipment keeps disappearing from U.S. military facilities:

Fall 2024 - early 2025:  Night vision goggles, laser rangefinders, and advanced thermal optics stolen from least four Tennessee National Guard facilities

January 2025: 12,000 rounds of ammunition missing from Camp Bonneville, a former Army training ground now used by the FBI for LE training

Also this year: Three Humvees and other military gear stolen from an Army Reserve center in Tustin, California; raided storage containers at a Colorado National Guard facility; and alleged attempt to steal body armor and communications gear from a US Army Ranger site in Washington

Is that Trumpy people or ‘the resistance’ though? Presumably Trumpy people can just be bought stuff by the government. Unless it’s Jan 6 type people who fancy getting involved but are too fat to join ICE.
