Without providing much further detail about the nature of the incident(s) of squirrel-feeding by National Guard troops deployed to Washington, DC for convicted felon President Trump’s “crime crackdown,” CBS News reports that “some” of the soldiers have been spotted giving food to the small, long-tailed rodents living in the nation’s capital. The anecdote led a brief section in which troops were also seen helping a woman carry her luggage down the stairs of a train station and others posed for pics with civilians in between sipping coffee and chatting. “There have been no reports of them facing threats that would require weapons,” CBS writes in summary.
The story mostly was about how some of the troops are going to be carrying weapons of the type used to perforate the skulls and torsos of jihadi terrorists in places like Syria and Somalia.
