Listen, I am not going to back down, especially when it comes to something that I know me and others are correct about. The US Department of Justice’s Website is in direct compliance with the Constitutional Mandates and all of the web articles that you are presenting are dead wrong. You are also implying that you know the US Constitution AND the US Government’s Policies better than the subject matter experts who are paid $150,000 yearly to curate and maintain the official website.

Whatever dude. Enjoy

I think it was a mix up...my bad! I was trying to respond to the author of the thread and inadvertently, I responded to your comment. My sincere apology!

China’s military budget for 3-5years, is what US spends in a year. Stop spewing trash. We’re not talking about authoritarian government but democracy Mr.

The amount of Chinese Citizens in US and UK fighting for citizenship is enough to tell you where Chinese people want to be if they’re really allowed to live their lives how they want.


I love people like you who bring the truth to discussions and shame the devil! Add Canada and France to the growing list of places Chinese citizens are fleeing to. It’s sad that the guys in this thread think more of China’s leader than actual Chinese citizens do:
French citizens are not ashamed to speak against the Chinese invasion and I don’t blame them. The Chinese are rude, entitled, and very unsanitary.

Did you just say that Soldiers can be drafted for trips with the President?

Surely you are confused because the last soldier ever drafted in the US was inducted in June of 1973. There have not been a draft in the US Military since.
Change the English word drafted to used and have peace please.

Sometimes, try to read simple things without being an English professor.

Dude.
What THE HELL are you talking about?
Youquoted me by mistake because I have said THROUGHOUT this thread that the SECRET SERVICE PROTECTS THE PRESIDENT both domestically and internationally.

Quote where I said SOLDIERS travels with the President. I dare you. Because I NEVER said it.

I know for a fact that the presidential protection by the Secret Service is mandated. I have a Background in Congressional Law therefore you bursting my bubble is the least of my worries.

Lastly, I was born here in the US. Do you REALLY THINK that I don’t know the difference between a USSS Agent from a Marine?


Please move around.
You have so much pride and it may be hindering you from learning from other people.

You are right that the Secret Sevice protects Potus but soldiers and I mean lots of US Marines also travel with him especially on international trips

These include the Airforce officers flying Airforce One and Marine officers flying Marine One.

All those impact on the taxpayers money being wasted on every trip of Mr. Potus.

You are not the only US citizen here and trust me, there are also many US military officers in this forum who are privy to certain information that are not in the public domain.

Calm down, talk less and listen more. That way you will learn new things.

Shalom.

We all know that US president is one of the most protected world leaders on earth, he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces.

US air force uses C-17 transport plane to carry the presidential limousine called the beast with several other vehicles to where he's going ahead of his arrival.

The Beast has 8-inch armor plating and five-inch thick bulletproof windows, and Kevlar reinforcement for the giant Goodyear tires that are also run-flat. The cabin is sealed for the outside world for protection against a chemical attack and special foam surrounds the fuel tank in case of an impact.

Do you know any other world leader that travels with such large number of security men?

Can our own president travel to US with armed Nigerian soldiers? Will they be allowed?
You’re talking about the world president here

You are calling the young man Ode when you are the confused one here.

He is talking about traveling and you are talking about protecting.

Again when traveling especially abroad, the Potus also travels with host of soldiers not only men of Secret Service.

Secret Service are providing bodies to take bullets for the Potus but protecting him lies on much more people than those men on suits you see there.

Because he is democratically elected Potus, the constitution mandates the Secret Service to bodily protect him but that doesn't stop military men from being in his entourage.

Apart from crew of Airforce One, Potus travels with US Marines especially when traveling abroad and some Marines resident in the country he is travelling to may also be drafted for his protection too.

That you see only Secret Service following him around doesn't mean soldiers are not close by.

Oftentimes, over 800 soldiers are drafted for his trip abroad depending on the country he is visiting.

Na wa o. Marines are not soldiers abeg. We are talking about Soldiers.

Most countries he visits already have us military base there already , secret service is the official guard for him but other military person have their specific functions in safe guarding the environment from attacks ..

No be secret service they operate anti air defense system, sniper units ,guard dogs and the rest apparatus nah

I think you guys are underrating this secret service. The secret service has a unit for snipers. They also have guard dogs. They are still in charge of guarding the environment. Wetin consign US president travel with anti-air defense system?

President Xi is even more powerful.

He has unfettered powers and the economic might to back up his actions.

The US president on the other hand can barely get anything done. If a federal judge doesn't strike down his order, Congress or the Supreme court does.

And if that's not enough he can be voted out in 4 years.

funny you think power comes from controlling everything. How many allies does Xi have to begin with.

I like this comment. Buhari too can be compared to China president in a way. The reason is America has a handful of enemies so in countries without adequate security he has to be well protected but in friendly countries with good security he travels with fewer security detail. On international flights the presidents plane; airforce 1, is equally escorted by jet fighters from aircraft carriers on the route of his flight. Imagine such a country.

omo where una dey get info from?

why would Airforce 1 need fighter jet to protect it?

If The marines can be deployed to protect US embassies, then using the same marines to protect the president abroad is a must.


Marines have no business protecting the President. that's the Secret Service portfolio.
The so call Marines don't even protect the White House.

This is one of the evil and scam of democracy........ Americans and other western democracies always criticised China and Russia socialist communism by claiming that democracy is superior to communism........... But as it always turn out communism is always better, less corrupt, less expensive, protecting the interest of the masses,

Have you ever seen president of Russia and China move with such a large and expensively well armed convoys before?

Have you heard or seen China or Russia spending trillions annually on military as compare to America? Any they have a more frightening and competent forces than America.

Democracy is wastages, flamboyant and corrupt system of governance, that is why Nigeria is such a mess today.

maybe before you type trash you should do a little research into your claims first.

No I won’t waste time watching YouTube videos. I live in America and have a background in Constitutional Law. YouTube can’t teach me anything because they aren’t expert, they are just content providers.

The President does not lodge at foreign embassies and the Marines do not guard the environment where the President lays his head. Secret Service Agents form a multi-layered perimeter around the President from the time he takes the oath until the day he dies. While other agencies shoot to stop a threat, Secret Service Agents shoot to kill.

Marines never have and never will be assigned that duty.

Even for him to move just 5 blocks away from the white house is a real crisis for sss ...not to talk of being in another country ,go and check how much goes into moving him into another country, e reach some country one year budget .

the Marines have no business protecting the President.

wait do you guys think the Secret Service are just 6 guys?

Every President and his family even after his term in office is still under the Secret Service protection.
The White House is under Secret Service protection.

The Marines don't sweep the location, that's the Secret Service job.

Dude, u are still contradicting yourself with reckless abandon and u think u are displaying knowledge. It seems u didn't even read your link.

First, your topic says that the US president travels with "so many soldiers". Then in your write up, u said "he travels to wherever he wants with armed security guards from US marines, FBI agents among other special forces", which is pure falsehood.

Let's look at the information in your link. From the link, where did the marines and CIA guys on that operation come from? Is this a one off or does this happen all the time?

Airforce One is maintained by the US Airforce but even they don't have a say in the President protection while on it. Same with Marine One.
