“ Moreover, Acting Secretary of Defense Christopher Miller's dismissive attitude toward President Trump's concern about security only exacerbated the chaos. When Trump suggested that 10,000 troops might be necessary, Miller brushed it off as "presidential banter" and failed to treat the matter with the seriousness it deserved. His later remarks that "there was absolutely no way I was putting U.S. military forces at the Capitol" underscored the dereliction of duty that allowed a peaceful protest to devolve into a riot. Had Miller followed orders, two unarmed protestors, Ashli Babbitt and Roseanne Boyland, might still be alive today.”
