The National Guard is playing a leading role as the country confronts a domestic terrorism threat following the deadly insurrection at the U.S. Capitol.
The Capitol is now crawling with more troops than in the United Statess main theaters of war in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria combined as the National Guard fortifies key areas around Washington, D.C., for President-elect Joe Bidens inauguration.
The Secret Service is even referring to the new perimeter around the Capitol as the Green Zone the same name used for secure zones in Iraq and Afghanistans capital cities.
And its not just D.C. Amid FBI warnings of the potential for violence at all 50 state Capitols, governors in roughly a dozen states have called up their National Guards to bolster law enforcement.
But there are also worries the military is part of the problem, as several veterans have been arrested in connection with the Capitol riots. And at least one person arrested is a current member of the National Guard in Virginia.

Domestic partner abuse is pretty high on their list of family values, too.
Along with the usual: skimming, scamming, ripping, raping, grifting, and insider trading.
