    Just to put on my tinfoil hat here, I think the Trump administration realizes that it’s grasp of the populous is slipping. So now they’re doing big military shows and making speeches to try and curry favor with the military. You know… just in case something happens and they need to use the military against US citizens.

      I have a different take: this is all according to plan. It normalizes the idea of live fire over and around US infrastructure. This normalization is meant for the troops, not the public. … though it is a side benefit.
