[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1,841 total arrests have been made since the start of the operation on Thursday, August 7.

16 known gang members have been arrested – including MS-13 and TDA gang members.

5 missing children have been rescued.

188 firearms have been seized. [/quote]

These are not particularly impressive numbers given the amount of national guard members that have been stationed to DC.  So many of them have been asked to do stuff like pick up trash and stand watch at low-crime metro stations. Trump is not being efficient in how he uses the Natl Guard[/quote]

Yup, any they are starting to have morale problems.

I actually feel bad for the guard members involved in this debacle. They are away from their jobs and families for Trump theater. I can't imagine it's very long before some of them start speaking about that publicly.[/quote]

Yeah me too.  The Natl Guard woman in this article is away from her baby in Tennessee to patrol around DC.  Yes this is what they sign up, but this is a BS assignment. [/quote]
