Marines deployed to Los Angeles temporarily detained a civilian on Friday, the U.S. military confirmed after being presented with Reuters images, in the first known detention by active-duty troops deployed there by Donald Trump.
The incident took place at the Wilshire Federal Building in Los Angeles where Marines took charge of the mission to protect the building earlier on Friday, in a rare domestic use of U.S. troops after days of protests over immigration raids.
Reuters images showed Marines apprehending the man, restraining his hands with zip ties and then handing him over to civilians from the Department of Homeland Security.
I’m could be wrong, but I think the military has an inside joke that marines are really dumb. Like they are really good soldiers but they are really stupid and would eat a crayon not noticing that it’s not food.
But I’m not in the military, so I could be way off.
So strange to me. In my personal life by chance, of my veteran friends, the Marines are the smartest by far. But bias bc most of them I know from my nerd high school, and other branches vets from non nerd life.
I don’t know where the joke originated but some marines now eat crayons for the meme
