It seems a bit silly to use 2,000 soldiers to protect six cars, especially considering the danger to the cars is long since over.
46,213 cars were stolen in Florida last year. Some were recovered undamaged, but many were either never recovered or are severely damaged. If we deploy 2,000 soldiers for every 6 of those cars, that would be 15 million soldiers we have to deploy to Florida...
I guess with a draft we could do that. I mean we were able to get 16 million soldiers(and sailor) for WWII, and have a larger population today. Does it really seem reasonable to refight WWII in Florida over stolen cars?
But you are right, if our cars were stolen in Florida, we would be very upset. Still, I would at least be reasonable enough to realize fighting WWII over it would be unreasonable. Would you?
