It makes zero sense that there where not more forces and around. There would have been several helicopters, tons of Secret Service, a proper Marine one helicopter and decoys and Apache attack helicopters and Special Ops guys everywhere.

Not to mention that trees don’t stop you from calling in air support lol

Yeah you’re right last week the real Vice President stopped here at JBLM and there was secret service everywhere military police where everywhere. He was in the special forces groups “encampment”. They rerouted traffic and blocked off roads (fuck that was annoying). They do all that in a military base here in the states, they probably have drones and satellites up in the sky too. Now imagine the fire/man power they would have for the real president when he’s out in a war zone. With that said I still enjoy the show immensely.
