So there are 17,500 American soldiers actively 'deployed' in the US?
"Careful there, friend... Didn't you get the message what happens to comedians around here? Or do we need to take out John Oliver next to teach you a lesson about what happens when you joke about 'Murica?"
Of course not, it is 35,000 soldiers but they are all standing on one leg.
Don't be ridiculous! They're all standing on two feet, but are each wearing a shoe rather than a boot on one foot.
