“Oath for Nation” is to protect it from external and internal attacks

The prevailing situation in the United States of America is extremely disturbing. The rioters vandalising private properties, burn shops, attack innocent civilians are cannot be attributed to “Peaceful Protests”. President Trump had called for the National Guard to take over the control as the civil authorities were failing to do so.

US President Donald Trump told the Governors to deploy the National Guard to quell protests around the country. Earlier on Monday, the President asked Mayors and Governors to deploy law enforcement in large numbers to protect the properties and lives of Americans as increasing protests turned violent. Trump warned for implications if the civil authorities fail to take actions. He said he will deploy the United States Military to quickly solve the problem. Perhaps some of the state governors did not heed to Trump’s advise as they kept the National Guard as a support system.

Trump’s call to deal the rioters with the military forces did not go well with some people, and they call it a violation of “Oath for Nation”. Here’s why they are foolish to misinterpret protests with riots.

First, dissent is the beauty of democracy. It’s Indeed true that dissent in political decision making is of paramount importance as a monopoly will jeopardize the freedom of expression. Now, what is freedom of expression? “Disagreeing with the government or a political party in a peaceful manner” constitutes for freedom to oppose. That said, destroying public property, burning shops, vandalizing stores, stealing goods are an act of rioting. Nobody deserves mercy in this case. America is often regarded as the free world. The free world doesn’t mean criminals and mobsters get a free run for their crimes.

Second, the new poster boy of the lobby is General Jim Mattis, the retired United States Marine corps general. He served in the Trump administration as a defence secretary before resigning in December 2018 for Trump’s Syria Policy. He wrote criticizing Trump of “Dividing America and pitching Americans against one another”. His part of the statement looks political and shows his political aspirations. The retired General emphasized that “I swore an oath to support and defend the constitution. Never did I dream that troops taking that same oath would be ordered under any circumstance to violate constitutional rights of their fellow Americans” – A bizarre statement coming from a former marine corps general.

Now, the General’s statement can be looked into objectively. Given the citizen’s constitutional rights to protest against hate crime, they staged a protest and it turned violent. The result of violence is irreparable damage to the public and private properties. Whose constitutional rights are violated here? Innocent Americans who are shop owners, passer-by, storekeepers, security guards or those goons who took advantage of the opportunity to demolish shops and top branded showrooms in the light of riots? Taking an unequivocal stand in this issue is what leadership is all about.            

 While the COVID-19 pandemic has already done some serious damage to the economy around the globe, mobsters involving in the theft of properties and damaging affluent goods are bad signs for economic development. These hooligans should be arrested and tried in the National Security Act.

Given the circumstances, some of the veterans in India found a new hero in General Jim Mattis. Their overwhelming support for the General’s statement is palpable as they share a banner of General Mattis and his ridiculous equation of constitutional rights with rioting. What are these veterans crying for? The Government of India didn’t call the Army to curb the Anti-CAA protests. The government was squarely blamed for letting the protests to continue indefinitely.  Veterans advocating General Mattis’ statement are well aware of the fact that denying executive orders to stand independent is Mutiny. Revolt in the armed forces will jeopardize our National security.

In a nutshell, the categorical differentiation between riots and protests is of paramount importance. Freedom of expression cannot be viewed subjectively.
