Trump called them there AND called for 25,000 of them?

Absolutely. Do you think they're there for us? Use your brain for a bit, we have no plans on being in DC, and as a city it is very Democrat. So there are no Trump supporters there for them to defend from. So the obvious conclusion is that isn't what they're doing there.

Don't you think if it was a military operation to arrest corrupt politicians, they'd be using the Marines or Army instead of the national guard; a bunch of weekend warrior scrubs who are called out to contain disorder, not execute special ops?

Granted, that could be intentional for keeping up appearances if they actually intend to arrest corrupt politicians, but fortifying DC with troops is also exactly what they would do if there was a fear that the masses were going to revolt at the inauguration.

Absolutely, National Guard are a garrison force to keep order while anything goes down, yes, they would use spec ops or police.
