In this case they simply don't trust some soldiers, and they are entirely correct to worry.
If they're entirely correct to worry, that only augments my point about the government's vulnerability.
Sure, we could sugar coat the whole thing, but if a large portion of the public believe conspiracy theories about a stolen election that delegitimizes the president and won't be talked out of it no matter what, then we have to simply start evaluating them as a security risk.
12 out of 25,000 isn't that much. They were removed for inappropriate comments they made about the incoming president that they are supposed to be guarding.
It isn't about the number. Even if it was zero, that the government finds in necessary to politically vet its soldiers in this manner betrays a weakness that it is increasingly unable to conceal. It that way the storming of the Capitol fulfilled its purpose...
