troops in dc is nothing new. The amount could be justified based on the media narrative for the 6th.

Not even close to true. Actual National Guard armed with live ammunition. That is only done in wartime

Nope. Live ammo on every callout since 96 when a bunch of NG got relieved of their M16s by gangbangers after Hurricane Andrew. It might only be NCOs, it might only be one mag per soldier, but always had live ammo.
