Democratic Reps. DeLauro and McCollum, responding to images of National Guard members lying on Capitol complex floors, have written to the Army Secretary requesting "cots or other equipment to more easily facilitate their ability to rest while they are on Capitol grounds."

1. No one else thought they needed to sleep?

The incompetence runs deep in this country.

2. +1 A cot is basic equipment! It's outrageous to treat military and service personal this way. nt

3. Not a good idea

If they have to resort to combat we don't want them tripping over cots. Or have the mob use the cots as weapons.


I thought about this and my common sense kicked in.

4. Not only that, they would have to carry them around with them, while on duty.

If it's issued to them, they have to return it. If it isn't returned the whole unit suffers. A soldier's actions affect the whole unit.

Believe it or not soldiers sleep in worse conditions. They are dry, warm and have a roof over their heads.

7. Yes. Hotels are empty and need the income.

6. The largest military budget on the planet by far yet our troops must sleep on the marble floors

of the Democratic institution they are now charged to protect from the traitors wanting to destroy our nation.
Russia's Putin placed bounties on the heads of our troops and the Orange Occupant called America's Generals "a bunch of pussies".

When Trump campaigned for the 2016 election he declared America was like a third world country. Then he did everything in his power to make that declaration our reality for the last 4 years. No more.

8. Why not stacks of gym matts? They could take one and use it and put it back on the pile.

Could also be used for protection if needed.
