Now go sleep in the garage!
MILITARY SOURCE IN DC:
“For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage.
5000 soldiers.
1 power outlet.
One bathroom.
This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

Redistribute the tp!
Seize control of the means of potty!

Copy/paste from the Troops in DC thread:

Here's a couple thoughts:
Deployment plans have transportation and logistics annexes. It appears there was a serious lack of planning here.

Was this identified as a Task Force, or was it just a Title 32 gaggle?

DC National Guard reports to Secretary of the Army. BIG ASSUMPTION HERE, the Task Force should report to that chain of command since there is no Unified Combatant Command involved.

Who in the actual **** told these troops to leave and go live in a garage? Who in the actual **** decided they had to listen to this individual?

Sec-Army or DC Adjutant General involved says you leave and go where you're told. Other than that?

Trump left some supporters and media on a cold runway for a few hours. Creates a media circus for days.

Biden puts 5000 of our troops in a garage in January for days. And nothing. The patients are in control of the aslyum.

To be fair US soldiers have been deployed all over the world for decades.
Most of the time they slept with no roof above their head, miles away from any power outlet, with no access to a bathroom for days.
With no way to contact their families for weeks.
All that while being under constant danger from insurgent attacks.
Getting hit with mortar rounds at night.
Having to worry about IEDs whenever they go somewhere.

I find it funny (and ridiculous) that people just now get offended by their living conditions.

"OMG they are sleeping directly on marble floor!"

"OMG how are they going to charge their cellphone?!"

Been deployed in DC is the easiest and safest deployment of their career.

No soldier deployed in DC will come back in a coffin.

They have it WAY worst overseas and nobody cares about their living condition or the way they are treated!

Where's the outrage when planes full of coffins land on US soil after overseas deployments?

People should care about the military 365 days a year.
Not just for political reasons when they are deployed by someone they didn't vote for.

Bring the boys (and girls) back home.
Eff DC.

The garage move happened because some whiny Karen swamp creature whined about masks.

I think it's bc we expect them to have rough conditions in other war torn countries, but expect them to be treated better at home.

FORK this new administration ... if you want to call it that?

 

[Sylvain]

I think it's bc we expect them to have rough conditions in other war torn countries, but expect them to be treated better at home.

I get that but I think it's because most people are not aware of their living conditions abroad.
Or they just like not to think about it.

I bet a lot of US soldiers deployed overseas right now wish they could be sleeping in DC.

In 1969, my pop was knee deep in rice patty wishing he could sleep in a garage.
In 2020, are soldiers really complaining because they can't charge their phone and have to sleep on a floor?

 

[HoughMade]

Can't they just go home now?

Soldiers sleep where they have to sleep. While it is a soldier's right to gripe, keep in the ranks.

This doesn't count as rough conditions. I was never in the military, but spent my youth as a military "brat." I remember my pop having to spend several nights out from time to time. Do soldiers not go out to the field (stateside) anymore? Or if they do, is the field akin the glamping?

Some of you are ****ing unbelievable. This is the most disrespectful ******** since Jane Fonda went to Vietnam. If you think throwing soldiers out of the capital once they’ve served their purpose with no plan in place to get them home or provide accommodations better than a homeless drug addict is ok then you are disgusting.

I slept in plenty of nasty and uncomfortable places while I was in. I was NOT in our nation‘s capital at the time. There is no legitimate excuse For treating them this way. None. Attempts to justify it do nothing but confirm a lack of character and lack of respect. Both typical leftist behaviors, color me surprised.

When deployed, sleeping in horrible conditions (when allowed to or able to sleep), it is because nothing better is available. In the US on a security gig, this is unacceptable, at least put them in a room where the temp is controlled and there are some chairs for sitting in. As for bare floor, I personally don't care, having laid on carpet (not the kind in your house, it does little to cushion anything.

I 100% agree.

Been listening to half of this country **** and moan about feelings and treating our men and women in uniform like vagabonds is acceptable. ****ing hypocrites.
