Such a bizarre sight, imo. National guard troops patrolling the outside and then they've got other troops sleeping on the floor inside of the building.

Also this might be a dumb question but why do some of them look like theyre legit sleeping? Is that an actual tactic/position?

They ARE sleeping according to CNN. Not all of them are doing that. They are working in shifts. On tv I saw some others that were awake

The last time I was in DC was a couple years after 9/11, so my last memory of the capitol was police and troops everywhere.

They're working in shifts. Sleeping at the work site allows them to be ready ASAP if shit goes down.

The fact that this doesn't feel like an overreaction is fucking scary.

They are going to be there for days and they dont have another place to sleep yet. It's called hurry up and wait. The military rushes to get you somewhere but then they have no idea what to do with you.

Well, gotta keep the meatheads from trying to play military again somehow.

Sucks that it's come to this though.
