As you know, the number of troops in DC are overwhelming and they are armed! Now there are scenes of numerous helicopters and ospreys.
Who is the enemy this is needed for? Angry Patriots? Antifa and BLM?
MS 13 is the deepstate army, but how formidable are they really? Unless if there is some army I'm unaware of, securing DC could be done with a lot less.
Soon there will be a time we are told Donald Trump is President and not Joe Biden (hopefully Jan 20, but some think it could be later yet).
When this happens, the world will go crazy and begin and DS allies will begin screaming a military coup has taken place.
Around the world, there will be thousands of confused service members and officers wondering who they should obey or face charges of treason.
It must be made 100% clear who has all the power. My guess is that these 25,000 troops are also the most loyal Trump supporters.
As a Veteran, I can say that POTUS is the Commander in Chief. No solider is " confused " about what their orders are. Simple as that. We (soldiers) gave up their own way of thinking when they signed the dotted line. " protect this country from enemies Both Foreign and DOMESTIC "
Also the more troops you have, the easier it is to hide some. How many of those Guardsmen are really Marines or Special Forces?
It's interesting that almost every State in the Union is sending a small contingent to D.C. So all States are represented.
maybe Joe is going to get a 25000 gun salute........
Guys, 20-25k armed troops in Washington
They are preventing the movie White House down! So their planned movie will not get interrupted. Are the Carrier Groups still positioned up and down both coasts? I would bet they are. Status of Chinese war games in Canada? News went dark. What else?
Think the Chinese might try sending troops towards DC from Canada? Dumb move...
Osprey flying? Does the Army fly the Osprey? I thought this was a USMC bird
Praetorian guard?
Does that 25,000 include all the state NG troops? Would be hard to suppose all of them are loyal Trump supporters.,
25,000 in DC alone. I wonder how many being rolled out to the other cities? To the other capitols?
