Let me get this straight the CIC has ordered troops to defend the White House and the Joint Chefs disobeyed those orders? Do l have the correct?
Ive got part of it wrong.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff went on record stating that president trump would be abusing the constitution if he used troops in DC.
Then in response, Esper ordered troops home from DC (82nd Airborne).
I conflated the two because I don’t believe Esper would dare to pull troops home without the joint chiefs of staff stating that the POTUS had not right to use the military in DC.
The D.C. Mayor drops the curfew, is calling for the rmoveal of barriers around the white house, but 50 SS were injured in one night of “peaceful protest.’
All nice and quiet like. I’ll put some links below - the first is Esper. While it is couched in social language - allt he pieces add up to a setup.

This is the second time this week Esper has ordered the troops to head home.
Defense Secretary Mark Esper has ordered home several hundred active-duty troops from the 82nd Airborne Division who were brought to the national capital region to respond to protests if needed, a defense official told POLITICO.
If anyone has military background, I would sure like to know where to get info to disprove rumors of movement of military assets [10th Mountain_1st Marine_CPSD_Marine_QVIR] to central locations under guise of citizen riot control. ANyone know of a website or Twitter account that would have such information.
If it is true, would those be President Trump’s forces or Mark Esper’s forces. The part of “under the guise” makes me wonder.
