I agree with what is said in the link you posted. In the case of "serious threat" and local law enforcement cannot control the threat, it's reasonable for local law enforcement to request assistance from the military, usually the National Guard, if violence is involved and the threat of loss of life.
But what was said by this administration made it vague as to what is deemed a threat.
The directive was to be used IF it was
Reasonably Threatening
So what would be considered reasonable and what would be considered a threat?
As I mentioned in my earlier post, it's a fact that this administration labeled Conservatives, Pro-Lifers, and what they called Christian Nationalists as "Domestic Terrorists", but what's the reasoning behind that, except for not being in political and ideological agreement.
So it's okay to use lethal force if they deem it reasonable that someone poses a threat because they are considered Domestic Terrorists? I'm asking this hypothetically.
Andy, I understand your looking at it with a positive view because you have been in the military and have knowledge of how it works. But much has changed in the military since 2020 when this rogue administration took over the military and how it's run under appointed leaders that don't go by the Constitution.
These paragraphs below are from articles regarding what I am addressing......
---------------------------------------------
The directive gives the Pentagon authority to approve “assistance in responding with assets with potential for lethality, or any situation in which it is
reasonably foreseeable that providing the requested assistance may involve the use of force that is likely to result in lethal force, including death or serious bodily injury.”
The DoD directive also “includes all support to civilian law enforcement officials in situations where a confrontation between civilian law enforcement and civilian individuals or groups is
reasonably anticipated.”
Former independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. recently spoke out against the Pentagon directive, saying, “The Biden-Harris administration has done something two weeks ago that has never been done in American history, which is to send a directive to the Pentagon changing the law to make it legal for the U.S. military to be used to use lethal force against American citizens on American soil.”
Kennedy added, “Under this directive, it will become legal for the U.S. military to shoot and kill Americans who engage in political protest because they disagree with policies in the White House.”

The new "Domestic Terrorism" Bill could target pro-life Christians and almost "half of the country" said former Hawaii Representative Tulsi Gabbard in an interview with Fox News Primetime Host Brian Kilmeade last Friday.
The National Review reported that Gabbard was alarmed at Illinois Representative Brad Schneider's proposed bill, H.R.350, that's meant to prevent the likes of the U.S. Capitol riot of Jan. 6 from happening again could be used "to undermine civil liberties."
"What characteristics are we looking for as we are building this profile of a potential extremist? What are we talking about?" Gabbard raised "Religious extremists, are we talking about Christians, evangelical Christians? What is a religious extremist? Is it somebody who is pro-life? Where do you take this?"

I voice my concerns but I don't expect anyone to agree with me. I'm just putting the facts out there and it can be taken seriously and it can be rejected, and that's okay.
Everyone has a right to their opinions and choose what to accept and reject.
None of this is meant to stir fear or worry or controversy, just giving information for anyone to consider.
I believe in Scripture saying
It is better to take refuge in the Lord than to trust in man.
