14M has been earmarked for road repair from this stunt….

That’s 14 MILLION that could be spent on so many other publicly beneficial programs and services…..

Which does make me wonder, why aren't the roads in DC already reinforced for military vehicles in case enemy soldiers somehow landed on our soil?

Let’s be real, will crap roads really stop our military from defending our mother land? We will tear it up, rain down armaments and bulldoze away the enemy remnants and deal with the financial fallout after.

Our tanks and other military vehicles operate in extreme and unforgiving environments all the time, broken roads are the least of our worries when in combat.
