It would be good if you'd been able to recognize the word 'tent' in my post.

For instance: I have no doubt the parade field at close in Ft. McNair in DC is packed full of temporary tents and off limits to media, plus the facilities in the billets and buildings. Nearby Washington Navy Yard with lotsa open spaces is no doubt a base area of pitched tents plus the buildings. Ft. Myer right across the river in VA has two huge fields plus smaller fields in addition to the Old Guard billets of the 3d Inf. Rgt.

British army tents could be pitched outside the Capitol - and aren't restricted to parade fields.
 
The picture of troops in the capital is another example of how radically fast the Nazification of the USA is happening now.

Around the Capitol bldg Army living tents are an eyesore Commanders of the Military District of Washington would avoid, unless absolutely unavoidable. A temporary command tent or for say communications, first aid are different, ie, acceptable.

Vehicles and troops standing or moving are tolerable, as are the necessary barriers, but encampments are disfavored at the site no matter how temporary. Nor does Pentagon want troops sleeping outside on the grass and so on.

The unit I used to be in at Ft. Myer next to the Pentagon, 3d Inf Rgt The Old Guard of the Army remained camped at the Pentagon until Sept. 30, 2001 doing security and recovery and, while videos and photos were taken, they are hard to come by publicly because they're controlled by Pentagon under laws enacted by Congress. Turning the Pentagon into an armed camp was considered inside it and in Congress as a negative that was unavoidable but to be kept at a low public and global visibility.

Only a civilian would make the statement it‘t Biden’s army. In this case it was President Trump who ordered the 25k onslaught for the weekend to Wensday. I said this before but for the record, Biden won more votes than anyone in history, including his old boss, so why with all that popularity would anyone need 25K troops at his inogeration?

Can anyone help me out here: what’s the clear looking sheet of stuff between Trump and his adoring throngs? It can’t be protective shielding, cause conservatives keep insisting that if someone is popular they need no special precautions.

In an effort at unity, I want to be mistaken about this. So what is this stuff in front of Trump?

So tents are worse than guardsmen sleeping on the Capitol floor ?

The unit I was in used 12'x12' canvas tents....but the signalers got two steel bunk beds into the back of a Bedford 4 ton truck.

Those National Guardsmen do look the fittest soldiers ever, and the Pentagon needs them close and I get that. But they need them to be well rested and washed/showered/shaved.

Definitely.

All the same however I spotted your genius the first time I read a post by you.

I point this out because I wanted to be on the record about it.

I'd want to speak to you off the record however.

US Military sides with JOE BIDEN


So far

Trump has already left the white house?
 
Tangmo said:
It appears to be an original story that appeared in Defense One written by its editor in chief Kevin Baron who said no one at the Pentagon was identified as having made the decision to deny Trump the traditional farewell on the departure of the CinC from the presidency.

So it's somewhat mysterious how we got to the deserved denial of the event.

Pentagon Won’t Throw Traditional Farewell Ceremony for Trump

The Pentagon, in a break with recent tradition, will not host an Armed Forces Farewell tribute to President Donald Trump.

Trump-military-GettyImages-1157646996.jpg

Trump is escorted by the colonel commander of troops during a joint service ceremony at the Pentagon River Entrance accompanied by the then secretary of defense Mark Esper who Trump fired a few months later.



Trump will leave office in disgrace, one week after the House voted a second time for his impeachment, two weeks after his supporters staged a deadly siege in the Capitol Building, six months after he dragged his Joint Chiefs chairman into a political firestorm, and after four years of nonstop assaults on truth. One of those disgraces is how he is ghosting the U.S. troops that he commanded.

Perhaps it’s for the best. Trump has used the military as a political prop since his first days in office, from signing MAGA hats for troops to giving partisan-fueled speeches in the heart of the Pentagon. American’s soldiers, sailors, airmen, and Marines have been made to stand at attention for Trump’s rants long enough. Besides, presidential visits are an honor and a headache for any military base that hosts them. The last time Trump appeared before troops was the Dec. 12 Army-Navy game at West Point. Before that, there was a brief Oct. 29 private visit with Army special operators at Fort Bragg, North Carolina, as he passed through on the presidential campaign trail.

Pentagon Won’t Throw Traditional Farewell Ceremony for Trump

It’s a shame, and a missed opportunity — not despite recent events but because of them.

Various news reports said Trump had ordered up a 7 am departure ceremony Jan. 20th to include the never done 21-gun salute as Trump was to depart to Maralago. The customary departure ceremony is a low key and simple affair after the new Potus has been sworn in at noon, is rarely televised and is held as the former Potus exits to his next destination.

Can they really do that? He is the commander in chief until Biden is sworn in. Can they resist an order like that without being court marshalled?

No, they were simply ordered to go

Maybe they can claim that they can't free recourses on so short notice or that they don't have them?

Exactly right - the military swears an oath to the Constitution. They are neither on the side of Trump or Biden.
