why do you suppose no R cities are being floated for mil intervention despite having high crime too?

Which ones specifically are you thinking about?

Looks like a C-17 flew the Texas Guard to Chicago. I know we've all embraced our fair share of military suck but I'm curious how BO community feels about this mission. I can definitely see a long-term effect on recruiting and retention in the Army Guard depending how this all shakes out. More than a few enlisted in the Army/Marine Corps are not US citizens or have family members who aren't.

Philosophically, if the governor isn't asking for help, then I'm inclined to be against it. I would make exceptions for the protection of federal buildings, such as during the race riots of 2020, but that's not happening right now. 

 

Politically, I have no idea. It could work, and it's not a stretch to see how. That could be a big political win if it forces Democrats out of their reflexive embrace of crime.
