They have no beds or showers or laundry services officially ATM. They are working to get them places to stay. What exactly do you expect of them. I was in the first Gulf War, guess what, sharp creases were not a requirement for duration.
These guys seem to have it worse than many have it in wartime. We at least had cots, showers, and a mess hall after the first 3 days.
Its the guard dude, deployed at the last second without a clear directive other than protect the capital. They didn't even bring a deployment kit with tents and racks, not even racks, they're sleeping on the floor in a hallway. Do you expect they or their leadership give a fuck about showing discipline and organization?
Exactly. You can find pics and videos of grunts racked out like this in warzones. What does OP expect them to have regulation made bunks like in basic?
Hard to fathom any Joe would defend soup sandwich nasty girls with their shit scattered around like a yard sale in our Capitol. Maybe I found the guardsman?
Well, I tell you what I think. I think this is build up of 2 sides, each bringing troops they think are loyal. One side overreacted and called in their units as soon as they could to prevent the other side's planned organized take over of the same space. This is why they have bunch like this sleeping on a floor of the Capitol. There are rushed to take space so the other side cannot formally take it. They are rushed in not because they are ready or appropriate, but because one side thinks they are loyal to that side in the potential altercation. This step by step reaction of 2 sides deploying more and more possibly loyal to them units is resulting in this 25-30k DC deployment where everyone keeps pretending it is for the security of the inauguration, and most of troops have no clue, but this is in fact the showdown soon to be resolved. And it won't be about some civilians celebrating or rioting... All I just said is a fantasy based on my delusion and I have no prior knowledge of what is happening.
I bet these sad sacks are eating MRE's too, this is fucked up, there are many hotel rooms for them available, the DOD can foot the bill, and or where the fuck is the Logs guys with their supplies and provisions?

I see, experiences may vary. I would take being in a climate controlled space with no training expectations vs JRTC/NTC anyday
Edit: Agree that deployment is pretty tight nowadays

In today's Army, I suppose I shouldn't expect any more than that
NGs, sorry to say, typical.

Like your username, spent almost my whole 11 years in 10th MTN
Yes, yes it is.
Circles, like at Biden rallies.
I expect them to at least straighten the gear and try to pretend to look busy.
Source: got smoked for this shit before
If they are patrolling shifts around the clock, expect some of them to be sleeping during the day.
It's irritating!
Not a vet. Not been in any military. It bugs me.
Been in the military. Doesn't bother me in the least. Don't blame the grunts for the leadership.
Precisely why I'm calling out 1SG in the title. Square your guys away
Cots would be nice!
Maybe one of these representatives could donate some office space for sleeping quarters? Nah that would show too much humanity
Looks like a bag of smashed assholes!
They are sleeping there on the floor...for days....so yeah...they should totally be tightened up 24/7....
Found the Joe Hugger
Or maybe you found a Joe.

Yes I agree this is a pathetic display.
Don't you get it? This treatment is making them hate congress!

So they not issue sleeping pads anymore?
