The brass have finally decided to let the American people take care of their troops

Photos of troops stationed in the Capitol circulated on social media, showing hundreds of troops sleeping inside the Capitol building.

The photos prompted an initial outpouring of donations, with Americans trying to send money or "comfort items" to the service members, according to Military.com.

The Guard responded on Wednesday by telling people they couldn’t accept the donations.

However, later in the day, the Virginia National Guard said it would be able to accept donations and send them on to fellow members stationed in D.C., according to WHSV.

The Virginia National Guard says service members need snacks, basic hygiene items, drinks and batteries.

Any items can be sent to
340 South Willow Street
Harrisonburg, VA 22801
with "ATTN: SFC Fretwell" before the address and "Leave at back door" after the address.

(If you're going to send something, please only send useful things. No propaganda and no weapons of any kind.)

They seem to have water and MRE's (food), so maybe focus on the stuff they won't have.

Suggestions:

High-quality socks (I have to put this first, because some high-quality socks will make the toughest soldier smile with delight)
Soap (shampoo, body wash, face wash, etc.)
Toothpaste, toothbrush and floss
Deodorant (travel size/non-aerosol)
Lip balm
Foot powder
Baby wipes
Sunscreen
Hand sanitizer
Pain-relieving topical cream (not a necessity, but can be a real luxury)
Vicks VapoRub
Hand Warmers
Sewing kits
Lens cleaning cloths

Reading material (magazines, books or an e-reader like a Kindle)
Handheld video games
Board games
Decks of cards
iPod or thumb drives with movies, music and pictures
Puzzles
Plastic model kits
Baseball gloves/baseballs
Batteries (AAs and AAAs)
Pencils

Hot sauce (a great commodity to have around, and the convenience of Taco Bell sauce packets are great to have in the field)
Water flavoring packets (many places we are deployed are very hot, and we need to constantly remain hydrated)
Beef jerky
Slim Jims
Protein bars
Gum
Sunflower seeds

DON’T send adult entertainment, alcohol or drugs (these items are illegal and can get the soldier in trouble)
DON’T send aerosols or pressurized products
DON'T send firearms or ammunition (we're already armed and this is illegal)
DON’T send perishable foods
DON’T send an entire box of the same thing unless requested (variety is a good thing)

Some battles don't have to be won with violence; giving some people a little dignity and human respect can do a lot to make things easier.

These guys and gals are just pawns being used by Pelosi and her Democrat thugs. They shouldn't have to suffer because of what their corrupt masters are doing.

President Trump is still the President. They are serving him.

That's not entirely how it works.

Members of the US military are also required to protect American politicians, within reason and ability. They are not going to suddenly engage in a bolshevik revolution just because some outsiders tell them to.

Regardless of whether they are national guardsmen or active duty, I can pretty much guarantee that most of them want as little to do with this drama as possible.

Outsider? Trump? Don't understand, my friend.

Are you seriously trying to radicalize us in such an overt manner?

Trying to get people to riot in D.C. now is essentially sending them on a suicide mission.

The 20,000 National Guard troops preparing for pro-Trump demonstrations this weekend in the nation's capital will be armed and permitted to use lethal force, the headquarters overseeing them says, marking a striking escalation in the way authorities there are preparing for repeat violence after last week's deadly mob.

We do not need to be giving the troops a reason to be executing American citizens.

A sleepover in the nation's capitol! Kinda like the childhood fantasy of being locked-in overnight in a department store where one could play in the clothes racks.

Once any federal employees have gone home for the day, do you suppose they break into a song and dance routine, like they would in a Hollywood musical? We'll probably never find out.

What happens at the capitol stays at the capitol.

Yes, but playing with frag grenades in real life can cause serious problems.

Don't do it. (This PSA was sponsored by someone that has had more than enough nightmares caused by explosive devices.)

As a side note, always pay attention to the instructions when using fireworks. I haven't had issues with them, but you don't want to be that guy or gal with 2 or 3 fingers because you didn't know what you were doing.

When I was a kid, I remember my parents sticking some of them inside something resembling a mortar tube. Kinda makes sense when you think about it.

I'm advocating that people do NOT riot; we need them to stay out of the way! I have a feeling the National Guard may be there for another reason.

Thank you for the words of caution. Regarding explosives and electronics, I'm only barely removed from the fried niggers who tried to steal live copper cables. Seriously.

That's why the cartoon was cute; it could so easily have been gore porn.

And not as a “YMCA-style” backup dance chorus :)
