I think troops are there to show a big theatrical show of force because of the capital thing, it is over the top and ridiculous, almost putting the fear of god into people. Its working, people are so on edge that a lot, not all but a lot will accept anything just to make the chaos STOP. Its classes mind fuck on the people. I think its the start of something else, perhaps fascism and control, its begun and no one is doing anything, so they have won it seems. As for God, he has northing to do with it that's why he gave man/women free will. Believing in him won't stop wars, or evil or anything else unfortunately.
