A federal judge found the deployment to LA violated bedrock constitutional law, but Trump’s domestic military campaign continues.

    35k is a lot.
    Peak Iraq was 170k.
    So, the US is at 25% of the deployment in Iraq .

    Approximately 150,000 US soldiers were deployed in 2003. This number increased to its peak in 2007 of over 170,000 soldiers, three years after Bush claimed ‘Mission Accomplished’ in Iraq on 1 May 2003.
