This entire post is inaccurate. They did go into high crime areas, and they did see a significant drop in violent crime, burglaries, and car theft. A quick Google search would have delivered several articles highlighting this.
In the weeks since President Trump deployed the National Guard to Washington, D.C., violent crime is down vs. the same time last year.

The National Guard's role in D.C.
In addition to the more than 900 members of the D.C.
National Guard who are deployed across the district, six Republican governors –
West Virginia, South Carolina, Ohio, Mississippi, Louisiana and Tennessee – have sent upwards of 1,300 combined additional members of their states' National Guard to the nation's capital.
The National Guard footprint thus far has been mostly limited to protecting federal buildings and parks, as well as patrolling 10 Metro stations in the district, but in recent days the service members started to assist with "beautification" across the district, assisting in "restoration projects" in D.C.'s federal parks, according to a Joint Task Force D.C. spokesperson.
A spokesperson for the Joint Task Force also told
CBS News on Aug. 24, that the defense secretary had directed National Guard members deployed to D.C. to begin carrying their assigned service weapon. A military official said likely fewer than 50 were to be
armed starting that night. This was a reversal from earlier in the month, when a Defense Department official told CBS News that deployed Guard members would not be armed, at the request of local law enforcement partners. The official also said at the time they would not have weapons in their vehicles.
