He realizes that sergeant is a rank within the national guard as well right?

I thought the troops were there because of the protestors?

Yes. These guys are there to stop any MAGA people from gathering. The military is not on Trump's side.

Hey, don't overthink it!

You are correct of course. My assumption is that since they are trying to manufacture some sort of inauguration day conflict, they're keeping these soldiers there until that is over. This gives them time to familiarize themselves with the area and perform some training drills.

My friend in the national guard says it's around 11000. They've put up fences, have heavy vehicles and generators there. Arrests and martial law tomorrow? Ready for antifa and useful idiots protesting? One can hope

They can’t run and hide when they all have to be in session to impeach.

Still, why would you need 7,000 to 10,000 troops?? Thats a lot for an inauguration. I mean what else could they be there for??

Nonsense. A SGT is not a branch. It is a rank in the branch. And where are 9K troops staying. That is a lot of Soldiers. It would be all over the web....meh.
