Ask them how much military gear has been loaded onto ships at Blount Island in Jacksonville, FL.
If anyone ever needs to know when we're seriously going to kick ass, watch BIC (Blount Island Command) a few months beforehand.
It switches from import cars to military loadouts. The whole huge island goes green or tan. There are pre-positioned gear around, but nothing like what goes from trains to ships in Jax.
Drove over it twice today. Nothing unusual. Does that mean they couldn't go to war? No. But it works better when you have stuff.
