  • Honestly no one knows right now. All we can do is speculate.

    After the Haiti earthquake soldiers were issued mags with live rounds but instructed not to put it in their weapon.

    During Katrina most of the soldiers were walking around with empty mags.

    During J6 none of the soliders were issued live rounds.

    During the BLM protests many states did have their guardsmen walking around with live rounds.

    I could see the DC guys walking around with live rounds in their mags, but I could also just as easily see there being no live ammo on anyone below staff sergeant. No commander wants their career killed just because one of their dumbass soldiers shot an American citizen.



  • You could do it in the US too. There’s miles of unguarded, unpatrolled fences around bases, and they’re trivial to hop. Lots of bases also have miles and miles of unguarded, unfenced land used for ranges and field exercise. These lands are often adjacent to public lands, and it’s completely possible to hike into the base proper through that land just by taking a wrong turn on a hiking trail. Once you’re in the base you can just go to any motorpool and fuck vehicles up. During the day there’s people around, but at night there’s just an easily hopped fence. An NCO might drive by every once in a while, but that’s the only security for 99.9% of motorpools at night. Honestly, I’m surprised sabotage doesn’t happen more often.
