Remember Your Oath: Washington DC
Veterans have established a Command Post at Union Station to Remind Guardsmen who they work for ... You.

You have to go to the link to access the video. I coudn't figure out how to post it. It's not You Tube. Anyone else know how?

Edited to add You Tube link thanks to Ancianita:



I have spent the last five days at Washington, DC’s Union Station. A newly formed veterans group called Remember Your Oath (www.rememberyouroath.org) decided that they, too, would occupy Washington, DC, for as long as Guardsmen were ordered into the city. The group is composed of five major Internet influencers led by Jolly Good Ginger, the extra-large former US Army interrogator turned TikTok and Instagram favorite.

These guardsmen and women are armed, driving heavy armored vehicles in what initially started as a pseudo-combat deployment to “stop crime” in what that snivelling little Nazi I dubbed “Baby Goebbels.” Stephen Miller was supposedly such a hellhole that the citizens of Washington, DC could not even leave their houses. So Trump ordered 2,500 guardsmen to occupy the city in what is clearly just a power move to take control of the capital and provide a “tough guy” backdrop for rubes in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho.

What most guardsmen have ended up doing is picking up trash and cigarette butts on the National Mall. No shame in that. Soldiers clean all the time when on reserve duty. However, this is closer to painting rocks and then repainting them. The reason they are picking up trash and conducting Operation “Beautification” is that Trump’d DOGE fired the 200 Park Service staff who would have been cleaning and beautifying the mall.

However, the mission of Remember Your Oath is to support the guard by reminding them every minute that this is America and that their mission is to support the AMERICAN CITIZEN.

Early on in the operations units from Louisiana, South Carolina, Tennessee, and Mississippi, who have almost as many as 40% people of color, were acting as if DC was a hostile Middle East city. Guardsmen were ordered NOT to speak to Americans and to look tough. This didn’t last long as their mission was so patently bullshit that they looked as bored as they did for the presidential parade.

Worse, they wear body armor and carry rifles and pistols but do not wear helmets, which, if you’re expecting trouble, might help protect you. It’s a sign of a halfassed attempt to look serious.

The Remember Your Oath vets have been in front of Union Station, reminding everyone of what we thought of this. Some laughed and others winced because only former soldiers can spin you up the proper way when you are fucked up.

However, news is out that Rurmp is screwing the guard over by placing them on 29-day orders, which means they may not get paid the full amount for the month, including the benefits and active duty soldier would get. It's a mean trick, and it would be entirely in keeping with Trump stiffing his Contractors.

We have also been engaging in a bit of psychological operations. Every time the guardsman moved a large unit to Union Station, they started playing the retirement speech of General Milley … nonstop.

On Sunday, after to a show of force by the park police and DHS, they played the recording end on end for eight hours.

We intend to expand this protest to all major cities. So if you’re a veteran, go to rememberyouroath.org and register. It’s a self-starting group, so once registered, you can get a permit, a tent, and a recording of General Milly’s speech and go to town.

It’s fun trouble we can all enjoy!

Watch the video to get an idea of what that entails.

1. See the white typing on the video? That leads to the substack site.
So I typed & copy/pasted his title in the substack site to YouTube's search window: Malcolm Nance Remember Your Oath: Washington DC

It turned up immediately.

2. Then I re-posted the YouTube link on the Liberal You Tubers forum.

I don't know, maybe he's another blogger doing the same thing as Malcolm, just not as famous.

Was involved in this - but I wasn't aware Nance was. All the more reason to admire him.

It would be wonderful if they could build on this and make this a national movement. I would like to see Mark Kelly on the presidential ticket in 2028 for this reason.

Anything that reduces the Guard's morale to something like zero is a good thing. Maybe, after they ask themselves "why are we doing this bullshit" enough, they'll move on to "should we be doing this bullshit?" and finally "We're not doing this bullshit."
