Considering there were not even any demonstrations, it is fair to say the 25,000 troop level was excessive.
No it's not. It's illogical to say that.
The point is to reduce the chances of anyone attempting anything to as close to 0 as possible, not have just enough soldiers to win a shoot out.
+1 to this.
Not sure why it even matters the amount of troops that are in DC (on a relative level) — We literally just had thousands of people overwhelm the Capitol police and storm into the Capitol building. It’s not like Joe Biden is personally ordering these people to arrest his political enemies — it’s just for protection of the Capitol and those inside.
I don’t understand the issue here, are people mad that these troops aren’t just allowing Trump to continue being the President? (QAnon convinced some people this would be the case, lol)
