On the downside you have a suicide cult ruling you, you can barely defend yourself and you sit around for hundreds of years doing nothing at all. also you were written by english peasants who don't understand shit. But Dark Elves are acceptable, all other elves are trash
Wasting the military's time, deploying them in places where they aren't needed, ergo taking them away from strategically important places, the level of collateral damage and overkill, the sheer panic this will incite in people, the logistics required in moving enough of them back home to make a difference. Need I go on?
So, you'd rather bricks thrown through people's windows, people beaten by the hordes, and none of the assailants getting arrested? You think that America doesn't have massive reserves of manpower? That France has their entire army deployed to "places they are needed"? Collateral? You mean you'd still riot if you knew that the army was going to show up and shoot bullets at you? Sheer panic? I think you underestimate people. Anti-fa will go into a panic, yeah, and that's because they'd be told point blank that they aren't wanted, but the every day citizen who is tired of their businesses being burnt down? They'd probably be relieved.
Sending in the military to take out rioters? Yeah lets do it. It's happened before and it works AMAZINGLY. They did something similar with the detroit riots of 1967. People were fighting for DAYS. Some people needed to bring guns to just to get themselves to stores and back. There were 43 dead and 342 injured 1400 buildings burned to the ground. The American NG sent out a radio and televised warning on every channel promising to shoot anyone who was out in the streets at 6:00 pm You know how many people died when they arrived? The same number of people that were outside at the time. 0. Nobody was stupid enough to stay outdoors, not even the rioters. Come to think of it, the riots died down quite a bit afterwards. It was still dangerous, but there were less angry black people throwing bricks at you. The moral of the story is that everybody thinks they're a bad-ass until they're staring down the barrel of a gun. The military method WORKS, BUT it should be considered the nuclear solution. It needs to be pretty bad if you need to send in the military. Don't do it unless you have to.
They WERE. and they were into some kinky shit too. eeeh Even for a place like berkley.....the NG?....idk. Again NUCLEAR SOLUTION. I would try to clear it up with reinforced police, maybe even a dozen SWAT teams, before I do that. It's gets REAL close to facism. It WILL make news BIG NEWS and probably make the government look like a dictatorship.
No, I'd rather have the National Guard-equivalents take care of this shit, that's what they're there for. America has more important things to do with that manpower, and so does France. Wasting it on riots, however retarded, is stupid as all hell. You underestimate human stupidity. No, the every day citizen will go "Oh shit, the goddamn military is here, everythings fucked. How did shit get this bad?!" This, a million times this.
You are aware that the NG is army, right? https://www.va.gov/vetsinworkplace/docs/em_activeReserve.html
Ok before you think this is the greatest peacekeeping tactic since the 12-guage, consider this. At the time, THERE WERE NO swat teams. There were no tear gas. There were no "rubber bullets". When the NG came in, they came in to kill. It was before people felt sorry for killing criminals and before "humane" riot policing were a thing. If you were caught outside, you were DEAD. Not arrested, not stunned, DEAD. You are right in doing this DOES CAUSE A PANIC, it's just not the same kind of panic that causes anarchy. More of the kind where your hiding in your home praying that they don't find you. That kind of terror. Truman was a cold blooded man who would make GWB look like a humanitarian. To this day I can't believe he was a democrat as most would have a fit about his tactics. He did not fuck around.
