To liberal citie to keep the crazies in check when Trump wins again. [/quote] Thats 200 troops per city. What sort of effect can such a small number truly have in a riot? On second thought, all riots I saw so far on video had around 100 maximum people in them so maybe 200 armed soldiers ain't so bad. [/quote]
