    Also: 700 members of the 82nd are at Joint Base Andrews and Fort Belvoir. 1,400 more soldiers are ready to be mobilized within an hour. Soldiers are armed and have riot gear. They also were issued bayonets—standard issue but some feel could be inflammatoryhttps://twitter.com/JimLaPorta/status/1267925422295207936?s=20 …

        It’s not standard issue, bayonets weren’t even handed out when I deployed to Baghdad in 06. It’s about sending a message. I was 13F and attached to a RSTA cav platoon.
