what Inauguration Day looked like on the ground

Troops, troops everywhere.  This was my first good look at the troop presence on Inauguration Day. I didn't realize that a similar troop presence existed in multiple cities across the nation.  (In fact, before I go further, I really ought to confirm this, but at least one person in the video above names the city he's in while he's filming the troops.)

A comment appended to the video:

A US President doesn't need fences and military protection to be inaugurated. A dictator does.

Exactly.  And the left keeps accusing the right of fearmongering.  Projection.
