Quote HistoryQuoted: NG troops not having any ammo/mags issued is pretty common. Throw on top that multiple members of Congress have publicly voiced concern over Guardsman being "sympathetic" to "domestic terrorists" and I'd seriously doubt they'll be issued ammo at any point leading up to and through the inauguration. ETA: I guess the point is to try to paint all Trump supporters as dangerous. ("See this is what we had to do to secure our Capitol!!" *clutches pearls* |

I’ve heard from people that went through more recent than me that cell phones are definitely a thing in boot to one degree or another, but I always thought the stress card thing was a myth. Wasn’t it just a thing they tried in a navy basic training class once and later abandoned or something IIRC? |
