1. Cots and chairs could be used as weapons against them and get in the way of their work?

2. Read that one of the soldiers said no thanks, we don't want to risk damaging the marble floor

3. These troops are use to deserts and jungles

This is comfort for the Army. A roof, heat and 3 meals a day.

4. Military gets sack time when they can, when you are on call, it can be a long night ahead of you.

5. They can't have comfort

Cots, blankets, etc would just get in the way if they have to engage suddenly in any difficulty in the Capitol. These folks are tough and used to hardship unlike old man bonespurs Thank you folks!

8. I had an air mattress and sleeping bag issued back in 1967.

What happened?

[Glorfindel]

14. No sleeping bag, but we used our air mattresses to body surf

in the South China Sea. It was just across the highway from where I lived and worked at the Grand Hotel in Nha Trang.

10. These photos make me want to cry!

They are there to protect us from ourselves!

11. Thanks to each and everyone of you

These pictures are awful. Did we ever think that the real enemy was the enemy within? Could we ever imagine these kinds of pictures?

I am so sorry this is what you have to do to stop this. But it is necessary. And it is GREATLY appreciated by all Americans of goodwill.

[crickets]

15. I know. These photos are so upsetting.

They're also some comfort, but it's full of conflicted feelings. Damn the people who brought us to this point.

12. This is common

Yes, it sucks, but understand that these service members will nap anytime they can and none will bitch about it when the mission starts; many of them have slept in much worse conditions.

13. One thing I'll say - lots of "history book" type material recently.

...

[Midnight Writer]

16. Well, Trump sure made America great again, didn't he?

The reason these troops are in our Capitol is because of the people in the Chamber right now using their best words, like "unity" and "moving forward".
