Well my contrarian but seemingly sit rep challenged friend there are now over 30,000 troops in DC and they aren’t leaving. Why are they just sticking around in a ghost town?

Well that’s easy enough to find on a search:

https://www.military.com/daily-news/2021/01/22/national-guard-plans-ask-thousands-of-troops-remain-dc-until-mid-march.html

These are also state NG troops sent by their governors. A military operation on the scale you are coming up with in your imagination would not be done by NG troops.
