They want this for a reason other than the one stated.

Wouldn’t this “replica” sit on a 500 acre training facility.

That’s a good point.

Also, why do they need this? They’ve never needed anything like this before.

Sounds like a cheap way of excusing what I consider to be a dumbing down of the SS agents.

If this were really justifiable, the “conservative” solution wouldn’t be to spend $8 million on new construction. Rather, it would be to buy a rural house (to avoid annoying any neighbors) with a large lawn and a fence, install some white columns and paint it white, and start training. Total cost < $1 million. Oh, and remove all furniture so as to discourage partying. The next conservative President ought to do just that to show how it’s done and set a frugal example.

A replica will keep the SS from driving while drunk?

For decades a "prop" wasn't needed and now it is?

Perhaps it's new agents that are needed, not new props.
