He doesn't believe experts as this ignoramus who knows absolutely nothing other than how to con people, feels he is the biggest expert on any topic on earth. He is a fucking walking example of Dunning-Kruger.
They won’t. I worked in the District for a time — the roads are, like most roads, not rated for M1A1s. Best case scenario is that they tear ‘em up with potholes, but there is a good chance that they will start crumbling. Also, the bridge they’re passing over is rated for the weight of ONE M1A1.
DC manages to handle big events really well, but they aren’t rated for the equivalent of a small invasion. In fact, the city is specifically designed to make it difficult for an Army to navigate. Much of the area around the Mall is naturally swamp, & it’s a constant effort to keep it from reverting.
There is also the matter of the Metro passing under parts of DC. While I don’t think these vehicles will cause an immediate issue, they will likely need to have their maintenance schedules moved up due to exposure to the unanticipated strain. Same for general building maintenance.
Oh yeah!! I was just thinking of damage to the streets. This whole thing is asinine and NOT how I want my tax dollars spent. Actually, not happy w/ how any of my taxpayer dollars are being used if they plan to gut our social safety nets (which also decreases crime & bolsters healthy communities).
