Maybe they don’t want to put the 82nd into civil unrest stoked by the media? Puts the military in a bad light while not giving the troops the authorization or ability to defend themselves?
The SS and WH Marines can take care of themselves. They’re trained for it.
50 SS were injured by “peaceful protestors” in DC already. Does that sound right to you? 50 in one night? The SS erected a taller fence because the rioters were pulling down and crossing the fences already there. More is going on in D.C. than we’re being told, but we can see buildings burning all over the US and governors sheltering rioters. Pelosi is moving to control the president’s access to respond to insurrection, the mayor of DC has lifted curfew despite the rioting.
