My great grand father (British Citizen) thought the US should rename Washington DC.
He was real snarky that way.

DoD dollars better spent on beans, bullets, black mold, general to specific maintenance, recruiting, training aids, scholarships, government housing, professional development, grounds keeping, rock painting, research and development, etc and so on (and on and on). Wonder if Mayor Pete has come up with the Department of Transportation costs relative to this lunacy? Pogo had it right when he said, "We have met the enemy and he is us."
