None of this seems like standard operating procedure. Do they not take shifts and get beds to sleep in? None of this makes sense

Lol I guess you never served. We are okay sleeping anywhere. I literally slept in a hole in the ground in Iraq for a year it's okay. They have a roof over their head and hot food everything will be fine

This 100%. The building could be on fire and it wouldn’t interfere with rack ops.

My second deployment we slept on “bunk beds” which were literally just a couple 2x4s bolted into a mud hut with a sheet of particle board nailed on.

And it was comfortable as hell.

No I didn’t. But don’t you get a bed unless you’re in combat or it’s an emergency or something? That whole thing seems so fake and gay

No lol you don't get a bed lmfao. The whole point of being in the military is being able to put individuals anywhere no matter how shitty the environment and that service member being able to fully function with limited resources

Bed, no. Dirt, mud, snow, sometimes concrete. Not in order of my preference though.

This is how they're trained and what they're expected to do in the field.

I wouldn't expect them to sleep in nearby hotels. There isn't exactly space for them to setup camp outside. Sure, they probably could move 7500 cots in, but somehow I doubt the National Guard has that many ready to go for relatively short term deployments like this.

So, you sleep when you can where you can.

The bad thing about the national guard though is they are definitely not equipped well for anything and always need big daddy army to help supply efforts during an emergency

Photo ops and narrative

Everything the media and liberals do are for optics and psy-ops

It’s a “look what those crazy Trump supporters are doing to our military” thing.

This is normal. If there's nothing to do and nobody's yelling about something, you bet we'll grab some shuteye.

They are big boys and girls there to do a job They are used to not having Casper mattresses and comforters.

This is the military people. Not the powder puff patrol.
