To me the real point behind such a massive presence in DC is that they believe they need that many troops to protect them from We The People. We outnumber them 100 vs 1 and at least in small arms we are every bit as well armed.
They only way they can ever win is to use artillery etc, but the moment they fire even one rocket or one arti round or drop one bomb they've already lost. Anyone that wasn't willing to fight will jump into the fray knowing its all or nothing. What was a few hundred thousand will turn into millions. Now what?

They are terrified of us.
