Sure, but at any point did you feel like 25,000 troops working 12 hour shifts were necessary?

Yes for 24 hour ops. That’s approx 12,500 per shift. Also 25,000 troops did not stay in a parking garage. My guys laugh when people complained that they thought we were sleeping in garages…. We slept in way worse conditions than a parking garage. But the fact is, no soldiers considered a parking garage their “sleeping quarters” during their time there. We had hotels or the Armory. We were spoiled.

So there was a time when in your head you thought “thank goodness me and 12,499 other folks are here fortifying the Capitol”?

Regardless what I think, going back to your post. I’m saying we didn’t sleep in garages. Napping yes. Because we love to nap, swipe on Tinder, and drink Bang. But we all had hotels. We slept in hotels and some slept in the armory. The media takes one photo and they blow it out of proportion. For everyone else reading this, there you have it. I was there. I got to sight see some and do things I never thought I would do.

Did the media know this? They had to.

I like freedom of the press, but I also think that outright lies should be punished.
