If I'm not mistaken this is the first time since 1861 that soldiers have been quartered in the halls of congress. Last unit who was forced to sleep there was the 6th Massachusetts Militia Regiment after their march from Baltimore following the riots there.

They are marginally more comfortable than a floor, and carrying them all in a building and setting them up is a clusterfuck in tight spaces... IMO not worth it in a lot of cases. We rarely used them except in instances of semi-permanent shelter. Personally I'd rather just sleep on my issued isomat or personally owned inflatable mat instead dealing with a cot. It's not a big deal, every one of them got the job they applied for. It's not an unusual situation, most don't even think twice about it.

Our folks were RSOI'd, equipped, armed, and sent north to DC in response to the screams for help from the civilian "leadership" there. What DC then did there in terms of having a troop to task mission plan, having life support, having a reasonable force pro and RUF plan, etc is what you see in the pics.

To be clear- I don't have an issue with the lack of cots, but I do think it's absolutely 100% absurd that troops are quartered in the building itself.
