President Donald Trump told a gathering of military leaders Tuesday they should use American cities as “training grounds” to fight against what he called a “war from within.”

“We should use some of these dangerous cities as training grounds for our military, National Guard, but military,” Trump told an audience filled with top generals and admirals in Quantico, Virginia.


He told the commanders that defending the homeland was the military’s “most important priority” and suggested the leaders in attendance could be tasked with assisting federal law enforcement interventions against an “invasion from within” Democratic-led cities, such as Chicago and New York City.

The White House has already directed the deployment of National Guard troops across Washington, D.C., after declaring a public safety emergency.

I don't know.  Training in US cities, especially democrat run cities, may be more violent and complicated than troops would find in a war.

The Antifa folks are great insurgent targets for Urban Warfare and anti-terrorism training.

American occupation forces are more likely to be confronted by insurgencies than full frontal assault from organized national militaries.

The Portland, Oregon, situation is not that different from urban areas in Iraq.
