Where do they house 25,000 troops. Seems to me they should have had sleeping bags and more sanitation facilities. They should have been outside not in garage with this virus.
They are staying at all the local hotels.
The pictures you see of them in a garage are for those that are on duty inside the Capitol. While Congress was in session someone told them they couldn't take their breaks inside the Capitol anymore so they were sent to the garage. So they went from indoor to indoor. Off duty Guard are staying in hotels.
Just look at the pictures - packed close quarters into an underground facility that had bathroom facilities to accommodate 1/100th of the troops - or less. I suppose we should believe everyone held their breath, kept 6 feet apart and didn't exhale at all. Jimminy crickets - epic fail and hypocrisy from the Biden gang.
They had two weeks to get accommodations in place for the National Guard. It’s not like the US government is some small mom and pop that doesn’t have the resources to figure this out. There is no excuse. They are are culpable.
Exactly. Rounding up 25,000 troops during a pandemic was a horrible mistake and turned into a superspreader event.
Now those troops will go back and spread it to their home states, through no fault of their own.
Yikes, Biden just can't seem to do anything right. First he refuses to follow his own executive orders of a mask mandate on federal property, now he's responsible for infecting countless troops in the name of safety against an overblown threat.
I see the dumb thread brigade had an early start. Can you explain what role Biden had in deploying national guard troops through dc?
Biden did not violate the mandate for anyone who took the time to read it. It provides for exceptions and alternatives. For example it says:
(d) Heads of agencies may make categorical or case-by-case exceptions in implementing subsection (a) of this section to the extent that doing so is necessary or required by law, and consistent with applicable law. If heads of agencies make such exceptions, they shall require appropriate alternative safeguards, such as additional physical distancing measures, additional testing, or reconfiguration of workspace, consistent with applicable law.
Where is the document that shows that an agency head made an exception for that location? We know China Joe wasn't following social distancing mandates at the time either.
I’m not a fan of Noe Biden but I won’t place all the blame on him. First off they could have contracted the virus during the trip to DC. The Guard commanders should have ensured their soldiers had the mask, soap, and sanitizer needed for additional protection.
What I don’t know is did the state governors have a right to refuse to send their National Guard troops to DC? Could the governors have just withheld guard troops for COVID reasons? Couldn’t they have called up guard troops from the states surrounding DC area? Couldn’t they have called up police officers from the surrounding communities to augment the Capital Police? Both options are better than loading up troops to fly cross country.

False. They were placed into hotels after the public was told that they had been pushed into the garage, where they were originally supposed to bed down.
Wait, what, wasn't it just months ago you all were laughing at the idea that large crowds were a covid threat, saying masks didn't matter? Have you changed your minds and come around to agreeing with 'the other side'(!)? Or are you so very desperate to make Biden look incompetent that you'll say anything in an attempt to make a point, even if it contradicts what you've said earlier?
I never said such things. I did say the homemade mask and level 1 surgical mask most people are wearing are nearly worthless especially since they aren’t worn properly and they give the wearer a false sense of security making them less likely to maintain distance and wash their hands.
What I did notice was the press calling certain events super spreader while never once labeling any BLM/ANTIFA protest as super spreader.

the troops wear masks at all times and it still spread. seems to me the masks do not work.
