For protection.
For who?
What?
“Future events”.
Like Donald J. Trump’s inauguration on March 6th by the military?
Or will that be in Florida?
Currently, there are 7,000 troops protecting Congress on Capitol Hill.
Until mid-March.
Yesterday, the number was reduced.
To 5,000.
By the end of the week.
Now they have to stay longer.
A “permanent force”.
“For future events”.
According to Gen. Daniel E. Hokanson.
Chief of the National Guard.
