Heard a discussion on this over the weekend (DPH).
“authorized to kill Americans on US soil … I think it’s very, very dangerous.”
Apparently, this is not the case. That authority was always there. Are you going to mobilize the military into extreme emergency situations (i.e. insurrection) and NOT give them authority to use what and who they are?
The Military has ALWAYS been authorized to use lethal force when necessary. That's the entire reason for the whole Posse Comitatus Act in the first place. As far as I understand.
maybe that's why the mil assets were held up from going in to NC for so long, they were waiting on their title X orders for almost a week. that creates a backlash that makes it easier to activate them CONUS. for WH or BH.

CONUS = continental United States?
yup, got it in one.
I guess the onus was on Dashy to understgand "CONUS". Dashy came through with flying colors.
