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 inflammatory

On the six o'clock news lede I want to see the 82nd Airborne ("Death From Above" ) PARACHUTE onto Lafayette Square with fixed bayonets and flame throwers.
I want to see tanks and APCs rolling down Pennsylvania Avenue.
Oh yeah.
