You’ve encapsulated all of my concerns in your post. I agree, I mean, WTF??? Why are 3,000 people going with him? I mean, are 3,000 people REALLY needing to tag along on this trip? Is this another egomaniac vacation?
And over 30 war ships? Who the hell needs that kind of entourage?
That is 3,000 people going with him PLUS the thousands of navy personnel on the 34 ships. The cost of this trip to the Indians will probably match our costs.
