Two National Guardsmen shot in DC altercation

No, strictly and only on one level. The guy that decided to ambush two soldiers.
Saying otherwise is akin to blaming the short skirt the girl was wearing for what happened in the alley…

No, having the national guard in DC in the first place is objectively unnecessary. Being shot is as well, of course. Both are not to blame but both are certainly unnecessary.
And yes. If your a girl wearing a short skirt in an alley, it’s foolish. Not guilty, but foolish.

The shooter does so much damage to so many - especially his own people - and at the same time harms whatever cause he thinks he was supporting.

The damage to his own people is the a feature, not a bug. That damage continues the cycle.

When one votes, one votes for the entire basket of consequences. It's easy to take pot shots at the downsides of the basket, while never comparing against the other basket. In this case, effectively open borders and various railings against xenophobia to support them.
Education is extremely important.

I need you guys to be more specific. He was a lone shooter, they say. Why 500 more troops? Is there a heightened security need? Or is he just making a point to a guy who’s sitting in hospital/jail?

We don't know enough about the shooter to say whether or not this had anything to do with the NG in DC. More than likely it's just another Muslim nutter who was just as likely to shoot a civilian or a metro cop. But I suppose it's as good an excuse as any to pin it on Trump. It clearly doesn't take much.

It's a meaningless show of force, because of course Trump would push back with a meaningless show of force. But please do continue to scratch your head with performative puzzlement.

Here’s why it makes no sense.
To the extent that there’s a heightened security risk, it would be copycats. (Perhaps especially Islamic copycats).
All adding 500 troops would do in that case is enrich the target environment. At the end of the day, anyone willing to trade his life for that of a guardsman or two can do so, barring some bad luck.

Given your track record, you can't even say that with a straight face.
