Marine Corps. reserves are being called up

[CountAllVotes]

Has anyone else read or heard this as I just did?

If this is the case, I'd say we have plenty to worry about.

Please share what thoughts you may have on this recent development.

Thank you in advance.

6. A Marine Corps. reservist on twitter

He said he was called up a few hours ago.

I do not know what to think!

This is going on now in Italy, I know that much!

8. Link, please.

Is this a source that you know and trust?

Without a good source this sounds like disinformation.

Try googling "fact check marine reserves" (without the quotes).

On edit:
Your title appears to be a statement of fact, not a question.

9. If it is someone on Twitter

Saying the US Marine Corps Reserves in Italy are being activated, I know what to think.

14. The military in Italy is now being used

Italian troops, not American.

12. He did not say where or when, etc.

He mentioned he was a bioweapons expert/coordinator when he was active.

might very well be setting the stage for postponing the elections by purposely creating a crisis. Still only a few thousand test kits available. After weeks of knowing the rapid spread in other countries. Telling people lies that if they want to get tested they can and then they are told by their doctors that there are no test kits. The proper testing would show what other countries have shown. Thousands of cases and spreading. Remember who it is that is leaving us to die. The GOP should be a banned political party in this country just like other countries have done. I know that is a bold move but I cannot look at a single move or policy of the GOP in the last 20 years that is not aimed at negative consequences for average Americans. Add to that the open embrace of MBS, Putin etc. and the GOP is clearly out to destroy America as it has been and to install themselves and the oligarchs as permanent controllers of this government, our courts and society.

15. Just in time for the next sElection!!

Dump will do or say anything to get reSelected!

We cannot trust anything the govt is telling us.

I fear for martial law to be honest w/you!

This is quickly becoming out of control but ...

DO NOT WEAR A MASK!

Just wash your hands and you'll be just fine! Yeah right!

7. I shall have to excogitate

Before speculating on the rumor of the unconfirmed information of an action being taken for an unspecified purpose.

10. I don't hold any value on tweets, did we not learn anything from 2016?

11. The govt will provide stretcher bearers.

13. I don't trust anything on Twitter beyond Catbyte's animal videos.

...........

Nothing seen about any call-ups on Military.com: https://www.military.com/

I could envision calling up a few reservists in anticipation of shortages due to some troops being forced into quarantine, but no significant quantities at this stage unless the administration is severely underplaying the infection numbers.

16. This could be totally unrelated

Or related only as in "This Marine reservist can't be activated due to quarantine, order in next reservist".

I understand the Navy reserve did create funding lines for COVID-19 support, but so far there's been no public request to activate sailors for that.

17. Well, that is good to know

Nice to know that no one seems to need or care enough to require their help.
