Governors Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas recalled their National Guard service members from Washington, D.C., after troops were kicked out of the Capitol and forced to rest in a nearby parking garage.

    MILITARY SOURCE IN DC:
    “For the last week my battalion has been sleeping on the floor in the Senate cafeteria. Today the Senate kicked us out & moved us to a cold parking garage.
    5000 soldiers.
    1 power outlet.
    One bathroom.
    This is how Joe Biden’s America treats solders.”

DeSantis made the order Thursday night, calling troops’ presence in Washington “a half-cocked mission at this point” during an appearance on Fox News Friday morning.

“They’ve served our country all around the world, they’ve served the state of Florida after natural disasters,” DeSantis said. “They’re soldiers, they’re not Nancy Pelosi’s servants.”

Abbott also called for the return of the Texas National Guard to his state, tweeting the decision late Thursday.

They all should be recalled. Exactly what purpose are they there for now? Just for show?

Good for DeSantis and Abbot.  It is appalling that they were housed in a dang parking garage.  One bathroom?  Seriously?
