I've been wondering the same question. When soldiers got deployed to Los Angeles to take care of the Rodney King riots in '92, it shows that there were about 4,000 soldiers deployed. 4,000 soldiers to restore peace in a city that's over 500 square miles and had active burning down of homes, entire sections of the city, people sniping people from rooftops, basically a full-on warzone.
4,000 soldiers for all of that mess. Yet they need 7,000 for a city that's only 60 square miles, totally locked down, no protests--and all for an "inauguration" that's going to be 100% virtual. Sure...
Good points.....
