The solution here is even easier than the division they've already been sowing upon the American people.

You don't send them home. You send them to the place that is the most culturally disparate from the way they grew up possible. You're a New England liberal? Great. We'll post you in the center of conservative Texas. Red Cap from a family of Diehard conservatives? You go to Oregon. New York inner city youth? You get special duty, guarding critical corporate infrastructure.

Keep them divided, keep them guessing. All it takes for control of a human being.
