The army can’t be used for such things. The national guard can, but they’re still not intended for domestic law enforcement situations.
I’m willing to bet this guy shot himself already and it’s now a matter of finding the body.
Geraldine Largay, “Inchworm”, was a hiker who went missing off the Appalachian Trail in Maine and died in 2013. It took two years for them to find her body, and it was found only a couple of miles from the trail. Those woods are so thick. If he’s dead if could be a long time until he is found.
Nice guess, turned out to be true
Actually the army can be used for it so long as they’re subservient to the national guard, essentially working as aides.
Plus posse comitatus has never effectively been used.
funny how the entire rest of the world would’ve sent their army in by now
While we’ve got a lot of problems over here, and this event highlights some of them, I’m not in a rush to give up the Posse Comitatus Act.
The probably should bring in the National Guard though, to get as many armed people searching for this guy as possible.

It makes perfect sense because you understood what was said to try and correct me on it.
only because it’s the dumbest mistake people still regularly seem to make for some reason
Nah, it’s common usage now. You just need to get with the times and stop trying to hold a language to some outdated interpretation.
