Threat?

[Major Tom]

The National Guard is being kept in D.C. till Fall! Because of perceived threats? There are 'walls', barbed wire enclosures and troops standing all over D.C. Why? What exactly are the democrats afraid of? Democrats did not want the NG to protect their cities last Summer when the threats and violence were real! Now they can't get enough of the NG? If you look at the way 3rd world country dictators protect their palaces it reminds me the way D.C. looks now! And now comrade Biden is letting thousands of illegal migrants in to the country. They are from those 3rd world countries!

What happens when our "representatives" go home, who will guard them then? Economically as society declines, people are put on the streets and kids go hungry what then?

They must be afraid of us, We The People. The governors should refuse to support the deployment of their people to DC and let see how it plays out.

Temporary measure while they roll up the cells of insurgents, probably.

I support better physical security for the capital as it appears the building is a very soft target verses the Guard providing security. I wonder if they have ammo and what the rules of engagement are. I remember after 911 the USAF at the Albuquerque airport without mags in their pistols.

I was flying in the months after 9/11. I saw lots of service rifles WITH mags in them in the airports. But not in Iceland.

Just a few years ago!.

An empty magazine looks impressive to the uninitiated. It was a running joke that in the panic that followed 9/11 the services put people with weapons and no ammunition on guard duty. So if you wanted an M-16 you knew where to go. And the first time a weapon or two goes MIA....Cynic that I am, I wondering if keeping these NGs activated is part of the "stand down" to combat "extremism" in the ranks.

a coworker was activated and spent a couple weeks in DC,

he told me he had ammo,


I did not ask if it was allocated to him thru the NG or if he had his own

[m1ashooter]

The guard might be a stop gap measure for justification by the administration of more security needed for DC thus creating more jobs.

D.C. is already a military district why not just turn it into a rest home for the unable?
