In the days leading up to the Biden inaugural, the nation’s capital has been turned into an occupied military zone like Baghdad. In fact, there are more US troops in the nation’s capital today than in Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan combined.
With so many troops, it looks more like North Korea than the United States...but it is all a Potemkin village, the National Guard isn't carrying ammunition or magazines.

The dramatic escalation in authorities granted to the 20,000 Guard troops stationed in D.C. is only the latest response to last week’s massive security failure.
Why would anyone carry a rifle with no magazine? In 1968 in Baltimore, the N.G. was called but were not given ammunition. A large portion of the N,G. bought their own ammo and loaded their weapons.

Kudos for no new wars. However, before crowing too much I'll just put this here. Some progress but nothing to redeem his not doing anything about the bounties placed on our troops, disparaging war heroes and any member of the military brass that didn't bow down before him, never visiting troops abroad, greatly weakening our alliances, etc.
IF this image is insufficient in conveying what was lost and WHY we now look towards the future of this nation.....THEN we,collectively, have failed. FAILED at being human.....the reflection pool is a symbol of
inner awareness, of many things lost,of many things fought for, of many things that STILL need corrected.
As for me, Thumper, I much prefer that my neighbors' son has been pulled out of Afghanistan rather than he get a war zone visit stating "Mission Accomplished".
