Didn’t we build the major Trans-Alaskan Highway in months in a very inhospitable area during World War II? A military force can push through projects in a lot less time than civilians.

We should just tell China if you help us topple North Korea, we will let you keep North Korea, no need to merge with South Korea

Yeah BUT,
What about all the necessary studies?
They can take decades and raise costs 5 fold.

Betcha they’re not worried about the spotted owl or any other species when building this road.

Yep, we did. Actually, a while back I watched a pretty good documentary about the building of the road. Think it was on the History Channel or maybe the Military Channel. But, I’m guessing it’s out there somewhere if anyone wants to do a search.
