Regarding DOGE and cost cuts....deploying 4000 NG and 700 Marines..and now Texas deploy its NG must be pretty expensive..
On top of that, Trump ordered a huge military parade, 250th year jubilee of the US Army..on his own birthday.. Seems cost does not matter when Trump has the opportunity to shine..?
What do you think is more expensive... deploying troops? or allowing the 2nd largest city in the US burn, allowing thousands of businesses to be looted, and hundreds of vehicles to be destroyed? Which do you think will be more impactful on both a national and a local economy?
Surely you arent nearly as stupid as you come across. Basic math is taught in school in your country isn't it? perhaps its a language barrier?
regarding the military parade.. you might want to stop relying on propaganda for your "news"... that lie has been getting spread for months and has been debunked more times than Ru Paul has won a drag race..
The US Armys 250th birthday is in fact the same day as Trumps birthday.. Im pretty sure neither he nor his parents planned it that way.. it just happens to be true..
The 250th birthday of the US Army happens to be a pretty big deal.. celebrations of things like this are common all over the western world...
Considering the US Army currently has 954,875 members (including the reserve component and national guard).. do you really think a parade involving 6500 soldiers is big or excessive?
And, considering the US Army has held similar celebrations on all of its significant birthdays (200th, 150th, etc).. is it Trumps fault that they had a parade in 1975 on his 29th birthday too?
In 1991 the parade to celebrate the end of the Gulf War involved more than 8000 service members.. that was a war that lasted a few months and less than 150 service members died as a result of hostile actions...
The 250th Birthday of the US Army celebration is not only smaller and less expensive.. its also been getting planned for more than 2 years (well before Trump took office).. the budget for it was approved in 2023 by the prior administration...
Youre stretching... and essentially looking like a baffoon... you and Munnik should get together and have a study session.. perhaps try to actually learn something or know what you're talking about prior to posting.. you'd get a good bit more respect if you put something up meaningful rather than unsubstantiated drivel..
