I notice in the story that the orders for NG deployment seem to be coming directly from the Capitol Police, which reports directly to Congress, which most likely means Pelosi, et al, or some committee which has been given the delegated responsibility. And incidents like this seem to be generated out of "break times" and "off-duty" times. Weird. No wonder it's such a Charlie Foxtrot because it's controlled by politicians.
Still, one would think the DoD has a certain responsibility for its troops' deployment, in which one of the main factors is logistics. Is this whole thing being run by beancounters or something? Where are the semi-trailer loads of porta-potties and mess tents of coffee and sandwiches, testing facilities and stuff like that?
Good grief. Send these people home or get them squared away. I have a hunch that a bunch of congressional-staff weenies are the ones making decisions on this and unit commanders are being muzzled.
