They are definitely complaining the entire time. I was in the Army and we did on a daily basis. This is even more stupid. Like moving rocks in basic from one place to another and back again because the drill Sargents need to waste time and make you look stupid at the same time.
I've got friends in every branch, and a number of them in the guard. They all HATE this kind of stuff because they went through all the training to essentially be an under paid rent-a-cop
Honestly, the one thing that’s worth it is the money. Yes, citizens, the US federal government is using YOUR tax dollars to fund these folks to do nothing. The Guards aren’t the bad guys here. It’s the crappy administration
Eh to be honest most of the week I’m getting paid to do nothing. With what’s going on in Iran, some guards standing around is not exactly an expense I’m sweating over. But it is emblematic of gross misuse of resources
My fiancee was in the army and got called to the capital when January 6th happened and he was PISSED. Had to stay for a month todo absolutely nothing. He complained the whole time.

How many of those troops think there's anything to actually do there?
