At its height, there were nearly that many soldiers stationed in Iraq. There are perhaps a few hundred SWAT trained officers in CBD, ICE and Federal Police. I'm trying to envision Trump attempting to recruit, train end deploy 1/10th that many much before November, and I just can't see it. That's not even beginning to talk about the legality of what he's doing (non-existent).
