Democrats are ambivalent about the military, something clear from their approach to the inauguration. The Democrats summoned 26,000 National Guard troops to D.C., purportedly to protect Joe Biden from rioters. They then accused those same troops of being potentially dangerous White supremacists. Many of the troops responded, not by being dangerous, because they’re patriotic, constitutionally guided Americans, but by apparently turning their backs on Joe Biden.Sure, some have argued that the backward-facing troops were providing operational security, protecting the president from attacks from beyond as his motorcade drove by. But a look at the video shows that only some units have some troops facing Biden

Clearly sending a message. Were it for operational security, I'd have expected a much higher percentage of the guardsmen facing the street.

The dems don't deserve a show of respect. They didn't give President Trump any respect at all and are still at it by another fake impeachment. I'll show them the same respect they gave President Trump. I plan to mute the tv if Biden ever gives a speech - same with anyone else from this administration. I'm just not interested in a party (and this includes the RINO"S) that doesn't love the country first and not their bank acct first.

Quite the message sent by the troops. Only half had turned their backs on biden the cheater. The half who didn't probably had orders and/or voted for him.

They were not there for protection, a couple of thousand could have done that, 10,000 at best, no they were there as a physical threat to Trump supporters. Showing us where the power is now.

It was a historical day. The first day in the history of our country when an incoming President had the military stand in for his Inauguration while Americans were not allowed in the Federal District.
Even Abe Lincoln never had to do that.
Then to take the ex-Presidents on their little photo-op at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier where anyone listening could hear the sounds of the Soldier rolling over in his grave.

Did anyone else watch the video of the Navy's ''Dancing Queen'' embedded in the article. (Sailor joined the Navy to fund his drag queen hobby.)

Well this can't be correct. According to Georgia election officials, Biden got 97% of the military vote.
Which is true, if they only counted 25% of the military ballots.

Clearly the Democrats overreacted by deploying 26,000 National Guard soldiers to DC and locking down the Capitol City from law abiding Americans. Now on that front the Democrats look like fools, as most people with common sense who have been paying attention knew that it was very doubtful that mobs would reappear to disrupt the Biden inauguration ceremony, as the morons who perpetrated the January 6th mob action are being sought out, identified, and arrested by law enforcement all over the country. So the Democrats effectively turned DC into a Beijing for a day.
The reason the Democrats did that was to continue pushing a false picture of the mob that broke the law on January 6th claiming that the mob is a portion of a massive right wing domestic terrorist and White Supremest movement that really does not exist. Beyond that, it is clear that McConnell and Pelosi, the two highest ranking politicians in Congress, who were ultimately responsible for the Capitol Police and physical security of the US Capitol were shown to be incompetent by not boosting up security after law enforcement provided credible intelligence that there would be efforts by extremists to infiltrate the massive Trump protest that was scheduled to take place near the Capitol building.
And of course most of all because the UniParty Congressional Aristocracy got the crap scared out of them by the mob violence at the Capitol, that was similar to, but not as destructive as what leftist mobs have been doing in the Democrat run cities all over the country that the Congressional Aristocracy generally ignored.

The lack of formation discipline shown by the troops and their commanders says it all, and, ironically, reflects the new administration's tendencies as well. Shabby... to say the least. SMH

Honest and competent leaders that GOVERN don't need 26 thousand troops to protect them. Corrupt incompetent tyrants and rulers on the other hand needs to those troops so they can sleep peacefully at night.
Congress did not intend to, but that was the message they sent out on 1/20.

Its hard to describe how huge that is. We considered doing the same thing when ordered to have a formation for Klinton. We decided against it because it would be the end of all of our careers with no gain for anyone. As it turned out, the visit was cancelled so no formation.

I'm reading Schlichter's latest book Crisis now. And it is pretty sad to see events in fiction unfolding eerily like in real life.
Trying to turn American troops on American citizens.....that is bad business. I wonder what portion of the officer corps will stand with the Constitution and what portion will stand with the leftists when the counting time comes?

Screening of guardsmen and everyone else as well can easily be done with the aid of big tech. Computer cross check names and addresses with suspended social media accounts and mail from flagged addresses (yes the post office photographs all your mail and digitally links it to and you can even sign up for the service called Informed Delivery to get emails with photos of the mail). Without any human intervention you can be on a list that could be used to ruin your life because some anonymous, unelected people with no accountability have a political agenda. They don’t need to check your computer or tap your phone or talk to anybody. Click, click, click, you’re out.

The troops are standing at ease, which is a clever hidden but not hidden insult to Dementia Jo.

Steve Cohen is a disgusting, despicable twit. He should move to Kalifornia, or perhaps Venezuela.

Those NG troopers who faced Biden's motorcade were breaking the first rules of security IMO. security always faces the crowds. Always.

#17, Congress critter Lauren Boberg should sue Congress critter Steve Cohen for the defamatory and false statements that he made about her holding a Congressional tour on January 5th, the day before the mob violence at the Capitol, as a covert reconnaissance for intending rioters, when in reality the tour that she gave was for her family members who were visiting DC.
