There s been a lot of criticism about the slow response to the attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Where it took hours to fully activate the national guard after the rioting began.
Army Secretary Ryan McCarthy says the blame falls on the system in place. I think that in the months ahead, it has to be looked at how to do this and it has to be simplified, so that you get less people involved and ultimately faster decision-making, by putting one person in charge.

KANSAS CITY, Mo. â The images of the attack on the U.S. Capitol are still difficult to process, but one image from last Wednesday carried even more meaning for a local historian.
One moment from Jan. 6 stood out to Kansas City s Phil Dixon. Boy, it s hard to unravel those emotions, but one thing I will say, a lot of disgust. We always held the Capitol in great esteem, great esteem, to even have his photograph, his portrait to hang in the Capitol building is just a tremendous honor.
