In a shocking turn of events, the military has requested to pull back 200 troops from protest duty in California. The decision comes after reports of soldiers being unable to resist the temptation of joining in on the protest chants and dance-offs.
General John “Dance Machine” Smith issued a statement saying, “We simply can’t have our troops getting too involved in the protests. We need them to focus on their military duties, not perfecting their dabbing skills.”
The troops, who were supposed to be maintaining order and ensuring the safety of protesters, reportedly got carried away with the catchy protest slogans. Private Joe “Smooth Moves” Johnson was overheard telling a protester, “I may be here to keep the peace, but I can’t resist the urge to bust a move to ‘Baby Shark’.”
The decision to pull back the troops has sparked outrage among some protesters, who have come to rely on their synchronized dance routines for morale. Protest organizer, Sally “Funky Chicken” Jenkins, expressed her disappointment, saying, “Those soldiers really knew how to shake it. Who’s going to lead us in the Electric Slide now?”
Despite the setback, the protest is expected to continue with the remaining troops still on duty. Captain Bob “Twinkle Toes” Thompson assured protesters, “We may have lost a few good dancers, but we’ll still be out here ensuring your safety. And maybe throwing in a moonwalk or two when no one’s looking.”
As the military scrambles to fill the gap left by the departing troops, one thing is certain – the protest in California will never be the same without the army’s unexpected dance brigade. Stay tuned for more updates on this developing story, and remember to keep the protest spirit alive – one shimmy at a time.
