Bronson wrote about this last night. It’s a total disgrace. It’s unforgivable. It’s how this town treats the military. Thousands of National Guardsmen were evicted from the grounds of the US Capitol. They were caught resting in the nearby parking garages. They were deployed to protect the capital from any attack during the inauguration of Joe Biden. The January 6 riot that engulfed the US Capitol was the cause for what could only be described as a military occupation of the city. Luckily, nothing happened when Biden was sworn in as the 46th president of the United States. Yet, for the troops who stood guard, this eviction notice reeked of betrayal (via Politico):
Thousands of National Guardsmen were allowed back into the Capitol Thursday night, hours after U.S. Capitol Police officials ordered them to vacate the facilities, sending them outdoors or to nearby parking garages after two weeks pulling security duty after the deadly riot on Jan. 6.One unit, which had been resting in the Dirksen Senate Office building, was abruptly told to vacate the facility on Thursday, according to one Guardsman. The group was forced to rest in a nearby parking garage without internet reception, with just one electrical outlet, and one bathroom with two stalls for 5,000 troops, the person said. Temperatures in Washington were in the low 40s by nightfall.
“Yesterday dozens of senators and congressmen walked down our lines taking photos, shaking our hands and thanking us for our service. Within 24 hours, they had no further use for us and banished us to the corner of a parking garage. We feel incredibly betrayed,” the Guardsman said.
The news sparked outrage. Sen. Chuck Schumer (D-NY) vowed to get to the bottom of this mess. Other members of Congress sent messages of thanks to the troops while offering their office space as a place for them to rest. Rep. Madison Cawthorn (R-NC) delivered food to some of the guardsmen. Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) appears to have worked hard to ensure all of the guardsmen are cleared from the garage.
You.
That’s BS. Everyone has a choice. No man can force you to do anything you don’t want to. Those guardsmen- not a single one of them spoke out or (as far as we know) refused to be an accomplice to the installation of a communist government.
The US armed forces are not on your side. -
TCGFT - F ‘em
Good luck with recruitment....
Yeah. And the FBI is trying to purge any loyal Americans in their ranks. I just don’t dig any of them showing up to support the installation of a chicom puppet regime. Wtf did they expect? Disgraceful display by our military.
There is a difference between deploying them overseas and mistreating them after they are disarmed, and mistreating thousands of armed troops in one’s backyard. The first is unfair. The second is unfair, as well as unwise.
No. They don’t have a choice, until they are out of the military. They aren’t even covered by the US Constitution, but a military one.
They can only refuse unlawful orders.
I have to reluctantly agree. Our military is now taking orders from an unelected, illegitimate communist puppet regime. As long as they continue to do so, they are domestic enemies of the Constitution and the citizens of the Republic.
So the party that wants to use the military to fight a few more wars and against the bad orange thinkers just dissed the military they used to protect themselves from the bad orange people.
Wow. They are stupid
EVERY order from this administration is unlawful, because this administration is an illegitimate communist puppet regime and product of a rigged, fraudulent election.
” Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-IL) appears to have worked hard to ensure all of the guardsmen are cleared from the garage.”
With a fire hose?
Chuck Schumer is going to get to the bottom of this? The Guardsmen mentioned in the story were kicked out of the Dirksen Building. That’s a Senate building. Either someone at command levels in the Guard ordered the troops into the garage, which I strongly doubt, or Schumer’s staff did so. Schumer very likely said something like, “Move these guys out, put them somewhere else, we have to get to work here.” One of his senior staff did the rest. Schumer already knows who gave the order.
Never thought I would see the day people on FR mistrust the armed forces, dark days ahead indeed.
Yeah. I’m not happy about it, but that is the only logical conclusion.
Yeah. Well they just occupied the capital of our country at the behest of an illegitimate chicom puppet regime.
Chuck Schumer can’t find his own bottom with both hands.
US Capitol Police = Nancy Pelosie’s Praetorian Guard.
You’re an idiot and obviously never have been in the military.
“ Hey military, you SURE you want to take orders from this unelected, illegitimate communist puppet regime that treats you worse than they treat their house pets?”
*************
I think the state of Texas provided 1,000 NG’s to security of the capital. I hope Governor Abbott has brought them back to Texas by now.
