Even Hollywood extras for crowd scenes receive far better treatment than the National Guard troops that were mobilized to protect Biden’s inauguration from a non-existent threat.
Even Hollywood extras for crowd scenes receive far better treatment than the National Guard troops that were mobilized to protect Biden’s inauguration from a non-existent threat. Yesterday, I called it “insurrection theatre” because the massive deployment was all about generating an atmosphere of fear and painting supporters of Donald Trump as an imminent threat to the Republic because they re aching for overthrow of the government.
The excuse, of course, was the incursion of the Capitol, a disgusting event, but hardly a sign of a vast insurrection plot that would require tens of thousands of armed troops to deter or defend against.
Where was there any evidence of a mass movement to disrupt or prevent the inauguration? All I saw were conservatives denouncing the incursion. Reports now indicate that there was some advance planning for the incursion, including the planting of diversionary (an thankfully dud) pipe bombs SNIP
All National Guard troops were told to vacate the Capitol and nearby congressional buildings on Thursday, and to set up mobile command centers outside or in nearby hotels, another Guardsman confirmed. They were told to take their rest breaks during their 12-hour shifts outside and in parking garages, the person said.
Democrat and Republican politicians, of course, protested as soon as they were aware of the abuse. Nobody wants to be seen as approving of this treatment of the Guard, but yet it happened. Apparently because the Capitol Police, who now report to Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Schumer – and who are often called a patronage organization -- ordered them out of the Capitol with no thought of what happened to them next.

Next come the show trials.
Better than moving them into Syria, as Biden has done with others...
And the Stalinist purges.
A big chunk of the Guardsmen pulled into this mess are college students who just started their spring semesters. If they got called up to miss the first two or three weeks of their semester just to sit in parking garages or standing outside in the wind with unloaded rifles for twelve hours without a purpose, showering with cold baby wipes, they’re going to remember it for a long time.
Too bad. Tiny violin playing here. When Caesar is a pr!ck but you sign up for his legions anyway, I have no sympathy for you.
has it even been determined who called them up?
Democrats should not be allowed in the US military.
Any of these guardsmen on their first enlistment came on board during Trump's presidency, and like most of us, probably assumed he would be CinC for at least 4 more years. That may not be the sole, or only reason they signed up, but they likely did so under that presumption.
DeSantis is calling Florida NG home.
I'm sure somebody told them it was Trump's fault...
I have always been a great fan of RK.
Biden voters who disrespected our troops are disgusting.
My favorite Kipling poem!! I love all the barracks room ditties

Truth bomb.
See post number 5 as a reply to your post.
