        This is a good analysis. [NT] - Frank L - 11:05am 9/1/21
    - With 2500 troops, not sure a 10/31 deadline would have been less of a LeapEx. - conorlarkin - 6:30am 9/1/21
      - I generally agree with this, however I'm not arguing for a perfect date. What I'm saying is that a - TakethetrainKnute - 10:11am 9/1/21
