ok now to measure time...

this is a ballpark as I'm just using square mileage and the GWOT as a reference for the "speed" of an american military action.

USA Sq. miles 3,800,000

GWOT Sq. miles (Afghanistan + Iraq + Syria + Libya + Yemen) 1,375,000

GWOT time ~20 years

(3,800,000/1,375,000) 20 years = 55 years.

Now that's for the whole country. If you want just section 8 areas, it's going to be a lot shorter.

For the sake of argument, lets call urban areas "Impervious surface areas" because of the concrete.

(43,000/1,375,000) x 20 years = .6 of a year

7 Months doesn't sound so bad. Let's do white deaths next.
