Quote HistoryQuoted: the smart NCOs brought a stack of counseling forms and training records, and are knocking out their unit's annual SHARP, EO, LOAC, and other training requirements  Not sure about NG, but if they were to give liberty to active duty line units it would most likely create even more problems.

Having spent time in the military and in the NG, from experience I can say that is exactly how things look when missions are thrown together last minute and the chain of command failed to secure proper housing accommodations. In this case I bet Congress cried that they needed 24 hour protection and want them there all the time. Which is stupid since none of them are armed and are mostly ceremonial at this point. Protect us all with your lives, while we refuse to give you the tools to do so. That is disgraceful.
I have slept in far worse conditions on far worse sleeping spots across the US and the world. Those are not bad accommodations for soldiers. Reasonably warm and dry is great. I guarantee those Guardsmen are bored and wishing they were back home with a warm bed. Most are thinking that their present orders are full retard and that congress should unfuck itself and get back to serving the citizens properly instead of pissing them all off. Despite that, they will do their duty, follow their orders, and bitch all the time while sucking it up. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Damn they really have all those Joes posted in there without even anything to rest on, on the fucking hard ass cold floor. That looks like shit on their leadership, which given they’re in the capitol, I guess goes all the way to the top. Having armed military posted up there looks like shit anyway. It looks like some third world bullshit, or like that part in Dark Knight Rises where they are all fucking around in government buildings doing whatever having kangaroo court. Weird times. Mmhm. Have to have masks! Have to stop the “riots!” But no beds, no mags, no rooms set aside for quarters. What a fucking joke. |
