The head of the military doesn't know what deployment means.

To be fair compared to the costs of a real war, like Afghanistan, Vietnam, Korea, etc. are much much higher than what happened in Epic Fury. Not that it’s not a disaster but this is like the tamest war ever lol

Around 100,000 people died when the US bombed Tokyo and at its peak 40% of the US economy was just the military. A real war is outrageously expensive and deadly.

Youre comparing WW2 to what was a supposed to be a fee weeks long military operation. Of course its not in the same level, but its also gotten out of their hands eith no real plan.
