President Donald Trump’s rush to deploy California National Guard troops to Los Angeles has left dozens of soldiers without adequate sleeping arrangements, forced to pack together in one or more federal buildings, resting on the floors of what appear to be basements or loading docks, the Chronicle has learned.

    Love y’all, but this isn’t news.

    This happens literally everytime a unit goes literally anywhere.

    Weekend exercise your commander put together last week? Sleep on the ground.

    Month long training exercise you’ve been planning for a year? Sleep on the ground.

    Deployment to a foreign country for nine months? You guessed it! Sleep on the ground.

      They didn’t even deploy with cots? The only time I slept on the floor was when I had to keep the mobile server room secured.
