(36,281 posts)All the reports I've seen cite "hundreds" of arriving veterans, with about 2000 ultimately expected. There is a lot of daylight between 2k and 6k.

At least 2,000 U.S. military veterans have arrived at Standing Rock amid frigid cold to help battle against the Dakota Access oil pipeline.
The vets, led by Wesley Clark Jr., son of retired general and former presidential candidate Wesley Clark, began arriving in force today to help protest against the controversial crude oil pipeline project in North Dakota.
