The initial amount called in for the "riots" on the 6th were about 500. They quickly bumped those numbers up to 6,200, then 15,000 and now 20,000. Big deal right?
To put this into perspective, when units deploy overseas, they generally deploy on the battalion or regimental level. You have your individual person, multiple people make up a squad generally around 10-15, multiple squads make a platoon, multiple platoons make a company, multiple companies make up a battalion, multiple battalions make up the regiment or brigade, multiple regiments or brigades make up a division. The battalions generally range from a few hundred to a 1,000 troops and the regiments are 3-5k troops. A division makes up 10-15k troops.
We officially have enough to make up at least 1 very large division or 2 smaller ones currently in, or being sent to, our nations capital.
This is the same amount of troops we had in Afghanistan back in 2004.
20,000 troops in DC is a staggering amount. So the next question is...why? They will not be the ones doing the arrests when they go down. Which means they are there to stop the unrest that comes afterwards....or if the arrests don't come at all. This means they are either there for us, or them...Since President Trump is the one with the sole authority to order them into DC...I like our odds of who they are there to stop from rioting.
People ask why Trump asked us to go on Janurary 6th. There could be a number of reasons. But If he hadn't went do you think Trump could get away with that many NG there? Do you think they would have even been called?
That is a very good point!
I am trying think of another picture that would give the military an easy way in without causing panic? If we weren't there straight up announcing the insurrection act right after January 6th without a reason would paint a different picture we would be happy but the left was already on alert for that. Q is right, Riot control is the only acceptable picture to the DC.
Congress critters are apparently going banana's about the metal detector checkpoints that they have to go through.
I suspect some of the swamp were planning on going down fighting. After all, there's no need to go armed when you have 20k troops defending you, right?
Of course, the news was spinning this as Repub's moaning about the checkpoints, but you can bet it is meant for all the swamp rats

Yep.... I've been trying to figure out the play on the 6th because nothing made sense.
But he knew the left would sperg out about anything that happened, he probably caught wind of the ANTIFA shit going down... and they they would be let in to cause havoc....(red folder anyone) so he was late to the stage... and kept everyone away as much as possible so it didn't turn into a bigger cluster.
I mean if a month ago I was to tell you there would be 20k troops in DC sleeping in the halls of the capital, how would that have made you guys feel? This is a result of what happened on the 6th. Plus I really feel like, so far, Trump has largely done nothing about the election fraud, he's tweeted had his lawyers out which would be a given, but the Trump we all know.... would be doing much.. much more then this.
Good thing is, less then a week now and we can know one way or another what is happening.
Déjà vu.
Whoa... never thought of that
U nailed it. Updoot
