5000 NG troops is a surplus? In what universe? They ordered 5000 into garage, with just one electrical outlet and one toilet with 2 stalls. Didn't allow them to put up tents on the grounds around Capitol.
First off, nothing to do with dooming. Second, where do you see they backtracked? I know that some GOP guys offered them their offices at the Capitol, and Trump offered his hotel, but I didn't see much else beyond that.
Occasional Cortex was even generous enough to allow NG to use her office for a NAP. You know, "30 minutes and get the fuck out". And Whore of the WH brought them a dozen cookies (for 5000?1) for a photo-op. Such generosity!

But then they backtracked, yes?

Military are just fine sleeping on a cold floor. I promise you.
Someone below made the great point of how bad it makes them look to treat the military that way.
I’m sure our troops are fine with a few non-comfy nights of sleep if the optics of it puts a nice dent in our enemy’s public perception.
