A Question About the DC Troops...

That’s a lot of troops to guard that area, right? Why the hell do they need the fence?? Someone please help me to understand the logic.

Have you ever seen a dictatorship set up without a fence? They have already started running any Trump supporters out of the services. They are devaluing the dollar to the point of being worthless. They have to break everything so they can appear as the "heroes" and take power.

Well there’s a good answer... anyone else?

SOMEWHAT off topic,but still applicable.
I was at Walmart exchanging something (first time into a store since K.S. SHOOTING). The line was long
because there was ONE clerk, so I was casually looking around the store,it had been reorged. THEN, it
struck me,be situational aware! I scrutinized the options I had, behind the service counter? NOPE,I looked
on the wall a TV monitor viewing the area, Hewitt tax booth,NOPE,just a curtain cubby...my feet would be
exposed,behind a large trash can,NOPE not big enough, a large steel carry all was pushed up against the
large coin changer,I could push it aside(on wheels) and squeeze somewhat behind the coin changer,it was
tall, bulky and I am just over 5 feet...it would have to do,IF needed.

PROACTIVE,FORWARD THINKING and CAUTIOUS ....that would be your answer

Time to bring the troops home!*


*From DC! The National Guard are part time soldiers who have other jobs, let them go back home to their families. We have the Capitol Police, the DC police, the Secret Service, and a number of Federal police units in DC that are much better qualified to handle a feared riot.

I completely agree. Besides, it's a long time till August.

My question is specifically about the fence. There's plenty of troops there so why do we need to have a fence as well?

BECAUSE there were troops there previously and it did not matter....the integrity/alliance of the men in the troops was a problem... (traitors), lesson learned...OTHER safety measures needed.
