I know all about the Bonus Army. But they were camping out. What happens if people just are constantly milling? coming in, going out? And how does the "Army" even get in there in sufficient numbers to move people out?

So, what if they do start bulldozing the thousands of cars tied up in endless traffic jams. The point is, it would ALL GET COVERED. The media simply could not ignore this. Now, they could spin what was "happening," but they absolutely could not deny that massive numbers of people were there in opposition to the government. And if DC is under "lock down?"

I think Abbie Hoffman would be proud of such an achievement.

People would have to camp out - what are they going to do, stay in $400 a night hotels? Milling about? If the idea is to shut things down, people couldn't easily move in and out? And, were would they stay during an 'out' phase.

As to how the Army gets there, that's easy - the 3rd Infantry is just over the bridges and there are other troops within the military district of Washington close to hand.

I know this sounds like a great idea - of course harking back to Abbie's levitating the Pentagon - but I think you underestimate the logistical difficulties. (Remember - amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics)
