Thousands of National Guardsmen were forced to vacate congressional grounds on Thursday and have been photographed having to sleep in parking garages while temperatures in the nation’s capital were set to dip down to near-freezing temperatures.
The photos of the living conditions that the National Guardsmen were forced to endure come after Democrats took complete control of the federal government this week following Joe Biden being sworn in as the nation’s 46th president.
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service,” a National Guardsmen told Politico. “Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed.”
“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,” Politico reported. “They were told to take their rest breaks during their 12-hour shifts outside and in parking garages, the person said.”
“Speaker Pelosi personally met with the Secretary of the Army to demand 14,000 National Guard troops be deployed to the Capitol,” a source familiar with the security discussions at the Capitol told The Daily Wire in a statement. “But there was no logistical plan provided by the Speaker’s office on where the service members would sleep.”

MILITARY SOURCE IN DC: “For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage. 5000 soldiers. 1 power outlet. One bathroom. This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

Support garbage, get treated like garbage.
Lol...at least they are not wet. Thats the worst. Been there done that. Wrapping myself up in my dd-214 blanket tonight.
Anyone think that military is capable of attacking America?? Hell, those kids couldn’t even feed themselves.
Impeach Pelosi. Obviously she thinks she is Commander In Chief.

Well 500k of you shouldn’t have cast 3 million votes for jo and the ho...
Joe Biden: This travesty will not be able to stand and I will take action!!!
To aide: Have the images wiped from social media.
The area I was in at the time was Grafenwoehr and Tennenlohe.
My home Caserne was in Munich.
Actually they would not dare to treat cats or dogs as our national guardsmen were treated.
Sarcasm tags seem to ALWAYS be needed and that is the reason for my sarcastic tag line.
“I’m all out of sarc tags.”
In fairness to others I note that sometimes sarcasm in writing is not so easily detected as it is during conversation. Voice inflection and facial expression do not appear in writing.
while Bidens ENTIRE family was unmasked on federal property,
1 “karen” from Massachusetts infuriated that a NG
was not using a mask while eating,
got Pelosi to THROW them all out.
THAT is the same Hypocrisy, the Gov’t (all parties)
uses to rape and eat children, steal inventions to
sell to foreign enemies, and lie, lie, lie
24/7/365/longer than you’ve been alive.
So, you were there, keyboard warlord?
Did you not hear the President when he called for “no violence”?
Do you think the Guardsmen may have been heeding that final order?
Would you have fired the first shot at other Americans you protect by creed?
Or are you going to force a college kid to start a civil war in your stead?
“We feel incredibly betrayed.”
Just wait until they order you to disarm and/or kill your fellow Americans. Won’t that be a kick!
They know how a vast majority of the armed forces feel about that.
That order will not go to, much less through, the military.
I agree. This is absolutely shameful to treat our military like this. They expect harsh conditions when deployed for war in foreign countries but this is a national embarrassment to treat them this way on our own soil!
All the while our politicians eat the best food, sleep in the best beds, and live in homes most American only see on TV.
They treat their mercenary army (ANTIFA/BLM ) better than this, pay them more too
LOL so true , it was an “armed” insurrection dont ya know...and each person had TWO ARMS , there wasn’t a one armed or armless person among the hired antifa/blm “LARP insurrectionists” who “stormed” the open doors
