I think the only time in American history where the military took widespread control over civilian government for any significant period of time was during the Reconstruction Era. Following the Civil War, the Union army established and administered military districts over former Confederate territory

AFAIK, in the UK they refer to people from South Asia (Indians, Pakis, and Bengalis, etc) as Asians, whereas in the U.S. when we reference Asians we’re generally thinking/talking about East Asia or SE Asia (Japan, Korea, China & Vietnam, etc). Something about how historically the British have more experience with the Indian subcontinent, while Americans have more experience in East/SE Asia

At least that’s how an anon explained it to me on 4chon back in the mid-2000’s. I think British media referring to Muslim pedos as Asians is generally understood by the British public that they’re from South Asia, unless someone actually from the UK would care to correct me.

However, when American media refers to them as Asians, they’re either doing it on purpose or incredibly lazy. My bet is on the former

I've wondered the past few years if Trump's connection with the McMahons and WWE was indicative of an interest in learning about showmanship. Pro wrestling has got it down when it comes to creating compelling characters and narratives, and understanding crowd psychology

Also, your username. 11-series MOS retiree?

Sola fide, no works of man has any bearing on the return of Christ.

“Watch therefore, for you know neither the day nor the hour in which the Son of Man is coming.” -Matthew 25:13 (NKJV)

A brigade of 10th Mountain is also stationed in Fort Polk, Louisiana. It was 4th BDE when I was stationed there, I think they reflagged to 3rd BDE a while back though If units of 10th MTN were moved to a central location in the U.S., my bet is that it’d be those guys. Polk sees lots of heavy rail traffic from all over the the country at all times of the year, so the movement of equipment would probably not draw too much attention

Edit: I forgot, units at Ft. Polk (not including JRTC) are/were considered integral in power projection for the Army, usually in terms of constant deployments to the sandbox. Also, lots of experience in natural disaster relief à la helping with hurricane damage in Louisiana
