U S pundits keep comparing Washington to a war zone, but people who know war disagree

Print article A massive security operation is underway in Washington, D.C., ahead of President-elect Joe Biden’s inauguration on Wednesday, two weeks after a pro-Trump mob stormed the Capitol. As images of National Guard troops circulate online, some in the United States have compared the capital to a war zone.

That’s a war zone.”
