When they sit in barracks there is no transportation or logistics involved, when equipment sits on the ground on bases there is no fuel, labor or transportation costs. When aircraft sit on the ground there are no fuel or labor costs, and that doesn't even take into account the wear and tear and accelerated maintenance costs. But hey why let facts get in the way.

This article is all Bolshevik anyway since there has been no further mention of a huge symbolic parade by Trump in lord knows how long, as a matter of fact the hostile media is are the only ones keeping this story alive.

Military gear seldom sits in mothballs. There are training drills, exercises, and testing going on all the time.

If you add up fuel costs to move the gear to DC, the $92 Million cost seems brutishly exaggerated.
