#1 I'm annoyed about the stories of NG troops being deployed without ammo. What exactly is the sense of carrying a paperweight (which is what a rifle with no ammo is) into a fight with people heaving bricks and molotovs. Esper and Milley need to be cashiered, but at this point Trump would be better advised to do that on Nov 4 win or lose.

#2 They didn’t have ammo in Iran, either.

#3 Really, I want Trump to bring Esper and Milley to a press conference and ask them "Is it your job to protect rioters from the law abiding populace, Yes or No?"

#4 Go into their office, toss a pistol with one round on their desk and tell them "Do the honorable thing, or get cashiered. Their choice."
