The Proper Role of the National Guard toward Domestic Terrorists

Twitter is reporting that there are indications of more rioting being planned for January 17th. This reporting, plus security concerns regarding the inauguration on the 20th have led to discussions about whether the national guard personnel should have weapons. It is inconceivable to me that someone would actually propose that soldiers carry guns. Armed military personnel? Preposterous! They should be carrying bouquets of flowers instead to offer to the rioters. I'm told that most insurrectionists prefer roses, though daffodils always add a nice touch. Combat uniforms that could offend the 'patriots' should be avoided. Soldiers dressed in shorts, tennis shoes and t-shirts with peace emblems would be more appropriate.

There should be several medical units strategically placed to assist those insurrectionists who might hurt themselves while scaling fences and buildings, removing barriers, breaking down doors or smashing windows. Military kitchen units offering coffee, soup and sandwiches would go a long way to building a good rapport with the mob. After all, storming capitols is hungry work. Lozenges could also be offered to 'patriots' who develop sore throats while shouting, "Hang Pence!" and "Kill Pelosi!" We should do all we can to provide for the comfort of those who strive to "Make America Great Again"
