National Guard Floods DC, Tensions Triple Overnight
In a shocking turn of events, Washington has become a makeshift fortress as a surge of National Guard troops floods the streets, doing little to defuse the escalating tensions. Sources report that despite thousands of boots on the ground, the cityâs anxiety levels are reaching new heights. Officials admitted, 'The troops are here, but so are the nerves,' highlighting the paradox of militarized peacekeeping. Experts confirm that the increase in troops has paradoxically led to more eyeball-rolling than crowd calming, making DC the new hotspot for 'guard fatigue.'
