The National Guard is ending its deployment in Washington, D.C. more than four months after troops were called to the district following the deadly Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol.

WUSA 9 reported that 2,149 National Guard troops will return to their home bases this week, after the Department of Defense did not request that the force extend its mission to help protect the nation's capital past Sunday.

1. I think it's way too soon to pull them out. So far nobody who actually makes these decisions

seems interested in my opinions but I'll keep on expressing them anyway.

2. I don't know all your opinions, but I'm with you on this

Insurrectionists have pulled in their horns momentarily, but I believe they’re waiting for another opportunity to attempt a coup. Perhaps the National Guard should establish a permanent presence. It doesn’t have to be obvious or obtrusive, but these traitorous fucks should realize that attacking the Capitol will rain down hellfire on their heads.

3. Thanks. I've gone ahead and edited my post to define just who the "nobody" is that I'm referring to.

6. I like to imagine that scene in Olympus Has Fallen but with the Gatling guns firing from the Capitol

Don't worry, it's just a silly fantasy that gives me a little comfort sometimes.
