DoD Directive 5240.01 Expands Military Authority to Include Lethal Force on U.S. Soil
Oct 16, 2024, 04:22 PM
The U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) has reissued Directive 5240.01, which expands the domestic military authority to include the use of lethal force. This directive, which was quietly codified, allows the U.S. military to assist in domestic law enforcement activities and potentially use lethal force against American citizens on U.S. soil in cases of national security emergencies. The reissue of this directive has raised significant concerns about the potential implications for civil liberties and the role of the military in domestic affairs. Notably, this scenario was once considered a conspiracy theory by Alex Jones.
