If we ever have a war with a 1st world nation, it would be critical to survival. I tend to agree with js that we should just keep it in the ground and use everybody else's.
This is a great strategy, for Age of Empires 2.

US veterans join North Dakota protests

Hundreds of US military veterans have joined activists in North Dakota protesting against the installation of a multi-billion dollar oil pipeline.

The activists, who are demonstrating in sub-zero temperatures, have been ordered to leave the area by Monday.

It is unclear if they will obey.
Mr Wood Jr said: "If the cops there want to be state-sanctioned agents to brutally beat non-violent veterans, that have served their country honourably - if they're going to beat us - then that should be the signal to the rest of the world of what our country's doing."

It doesn't sound like they will be leaving on their own accord.

Where does it say "hundreds of US veterans have joined" this illegal protest ? It was in the article, but it only named Cook?

EDIT
On further reading i've seen other alt-left articles claiming up to 2,000 veterans joining the protest, but not so much hard evidence.

Things will definitely get interesting now that this group has showed up. Clark and Wood's publicly stated intentions are:

Then body armor, ear plugs, and gas masks will be issued to those who didn’t bring their own. Bagpipes will play, and traditional Sioux war songs will be sung. The music will continue as everyone marches together to the banks of the Missouri, on the other side of which a line of guards in riot gear will be standing ready with rifles, mace, batons, and dogs. Then, the veterans and their allies — or at least the ones who are brave enough — will lock arms and cross the river in a “massive line” for their “first encounter” with the “opposing forces.”

The goal is to make it to the drilling pad and surround it, arm in arm. That will require making it through the line of guards, who have repelled other such attempts with a level of physical force Sioux tribal members and protesters have described as “excessive”
— claims that recently prompted a United Nations investigation. Of course, that’s what the body armor and gas masks are for.

“We’ll have those people who will recognize that they’re not willing to take a bullet, and those who recognize that they are,” says Wood Jr. “It’s okay if some of them step back, but Wes and I have no intention of doing so.”

I really hope that this doesn't turn ugly but can the police afford to just roll over, seems like that would set a really bad precedent. OTOH, I don't want to see anyone injured and shit could get out of hand really quick since they are going to be fairly well prepared for most, if not all, of the cops less than lethal options and standard riot tactics.

If they do let them through so they don't have to seriously hurt or kill anyone do they then just let these people occupy private property indefinitely? I'm sure most want to take the initial "walk" but if they do make it through the line then I can definitely see the rest joining them and once they are there it will be even harder to get them to leave, as we are currently seeing.

This is why you are so stupid, you waste time playing games for fear of accomplishing anything. Maybe you should get a job.

maybe you should go check the pics thread to see some of my accomplishments and not resort to stupid insults that are meaningless. But I guess you prove my point about your intellect.

Only white people can have assault rifles at a protest. As it should be.

And they shouldn't be harmed at all for it. But if those damn injuns start acting like people, we'll give them some pal-time with the dogs.

If they defend themselves, they're terrorists and deserve to be frozen to death.

maybe if I were inspired to waste time looking at pics you posted and you were not wasting time posting stupid insults that are meaningless, you could help me prove my point that you have no intellect.
