Tough drill sargents would be assigned to their special units and.A percent to the Marines and a percentage to the Army.Since they rioted and tried to overthrow the US Government they will get a lesson on what "freedom means and the US Constitution". Protesting is one thing, rioting and destroying property and killing and asualt is another!!

The 13th Amendment to the Constitution of the United States says:
“ Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.”
I recommend that all violent protestors, looters, and destroyers of property be duly convicted and sentenced to a period of involuntary servitude. I’ve known wild kids who settled down nicely after a period in the military. It happens a LOT. But I’d rather see these people picking vegetables in the Imperial Valley of California or in Florida, in chains.
