I have no opinion on the flight information provided. But I do know the logistics to support 25000 is large scale.

For example - 1 MRE per day for each solder is in the neighborhood of 90 pallets (86.8 to be exact). One 40’ trailer can hull approximately 35 pallets. 3 trailers (or C130s) per day for 1 meal, 6 for meals, etc.

A C130 payload is approximately the same as a tractor trailer; in the neighborhood of 20 ton.

12 MREs per case
24 cases per pallet
1 pallet - 1100 lbs - 56 cubic feet

In addition, my guess is bottled water is served. I don’t feel like doing the math but that’s a lot of water.

Bringing more troops of course and arms to protect dc. By the time it is through it will look like that military parade they would not let Trump have. All we need now is self propelled mobile rocket launchers and the party is complete. Welcome to Soviet Union change of leadership Comrade.

“Pelosis mercenaries?”

At the moment, Bubba, that’s all they are“

That is incorrect.

Right. They’re not all going down to Starbucks. There’s the issue of tent cities as well. Generators, medical.

You are correct about that being incorrect.

Pelosis has zero power or authority to deploy troops.

Only reason I post on this board is because I am trying to grow traffic at my website.

In other words, a blogpimp. Now a zotted blogpimp.

I may be stating the obvious, but I think “Puff” refers to the Vietnam-era C-47 cargo plane that was converted into an airborne ground-attack platform with machine guns a-plenty.

Very much the same as the modern-era AC-130 gunship, which I believe is known as ‘Azrael’-the Angel of Death.

Wouldn’t surprise me if a couple of AC-130’s were on standby at Andrews.

I have no opinion, no dog in this fight. But didn’t I read in the regular news that DC is now a total civilian No Fly Zone? So any aircraft in the area would be military traffic?

That is correct.

People can think this through but some choose to go by what the brainwash media might tell them.

Both of you are lost.

Trump signed the Emergency power order, but it was under duress. Political duress.

Pelosi is controlling events in DC. An impeachment in 3 days? Absurd. Yet she whipped her scum gangsters into doing it and now we’re just a goddamned banana “republic”.

You can babble all the Super Secret Scooby Doo BS about how this is really a way to Stop Biden! and inaugurate Trump or whatever idiot theory is making the rounds, but the fact is that a) the Thief will be inaugurated and b) the show of force will expand into all corners of the US, run by the Rats.

And btw, lemme know when you find out Who Shot Ashli.

Bringing in more Porta Potties for the NG troops.

Being that such units will not be serviced by local contractors, the units will be flown out when full.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

LOL... That makes perfect sense

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

OR. use the DeBlasio model from NYC: Just leave um setting on the curb until they decompose

DC is an armed camp, we have more troops in DC than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. Who the heck is ordering these troop movements and under what authority?

You are barking up the wrong tree. I never subscribed to what you accuse me off. I am merely stating fact. But you are welcomed to believe the legislative branch is in charge of the military no matter how foolish that is. Kind of makes me miss the entertainment of sitting and listening at the local bar.
