What is the intent and objective of the move? Not opposed, just don't understand it.

I believe the Hoover building is falling apart and needs a lot of work done to it that will cost a bunch of money.

^^^^^^^^
The J. Edgar Hoover Building is old, rundown, designed for thousands of workers, and there were plans approved to build a new headquarters in Greenbelt, just outside of D.C. at a cost of more than 5 billion dollars. Trump scrapped those plans, to the chagrin of Democrats in the Maryland area not wanting to lose that kind of dough. The Ronald Reagan Building will be a safe facility, more suited for updated technology. Plus Patel wants to disperse many FBI personnel to other locations in the country, to force them out into the field.

Got it, thanks. So three birds with one stone. Sounds good.

How do you even compare us successfully destroying ISIS targets to that?

The Reagan Building is barely 20 years old too and in a far more attractive part of DC. What's not to like?

^^^^^^
I wonder what’s currently in the Ronald Reagan Building.
I doubt that it’s vacant.

Easily googled...

The Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center, named after former United States president Ronald Reagan, is located in downtown Washington, D.C., and was the first federal building in Washington designed for both governmental and private sector purposes. It is the second largest federal building after the Pentagon.[2] At the time it was built, the Ronald Reagan Building was the most expensive federal building ever constructed, at a cost of $768 million.[3]

All the organizations located in the Pennsylvania Avenue building are dedicated to international trade and global relations.

Organizations headquartered in this building include U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and the Woodrow Wilson International Center for Scholars.

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) was a tenant for many years until it was gutted in 2025.

The first private sector lease was signed with investment banking firm Quarterdeck Investment Partners, Inc.

The building hosts conferences, trade shows, cultural events, and outdoor concerts. Post-9/11, security requirements for high-profile federal buildings have limited the amount of public access anticipated by the center's designers.

This a strangely-common response to questions here, and I’m curious what their point is.

Does it mean we’re not supposed to ask questions here? Should we be supporting a search engine that many people (on the Right, anyway) are suspicious of? Is it a way of saying, “I’m smarter than you because I know about Internet searches and you don’t”?

Yes, many questions can be answered without posing them here, but one thing about posing questions on a discussion forum is that they often result in … well, discussions. In addition, when they’re posed and then answered, they very often result in the general spread of knowledge among people (including me) who may have never even thought about asking a question, but then, “Hey, that’s interesting.”

Is my way of thinking that far off base? (I have been accused of asking questions whose answers would be of little interest to most people, and that’s true. But one of the reasons for asking them here is because they are of little interest to most people and therefore the answers are not readily available—via Google or any other search engine.)

I wholeheartedly agree.

Tough shit

Not a direct comparison on the nature or the result of the operation. The similarity is the decision in launching a surprise attack when the other side is expecting a lull during a major holiday.

The Battle of Trenton would be another one. That one also took place on Christmas Day.

The comparison is still odious.

While I don’t consider myself an expert on much of anything, I have used several search engines over time.

I have settled very happily on “Perplexity”!

My evaluations are based on things I DO know well, many times on obscure topics, to probe accuracy and depth of knowledge.

Please, others that have used Perplexity, give your opinion! If the AI have been explored elsewhere, provide referral!

Unintentional ignorance.

Well, there's that whole Tet Offensive thing. I have a few doubts about your analogy. It can be debated for sure. Tet was the fist step in getting our asses kicked out of Vietnam in defeat where we accomplished absolutely nothing other than killing a bunch of very young Americans and spending a shit load of blood and treasure. Does Afghanistan ring a bell? Today there are two communist countries in Southeast Asia... Vietnam and Laos. Same as when we started. Your Hue analogy falls a bit short for this 70 year old.

^^^^ I’m going to mention this topic only once more, because I don’t want to derail the thread unnecessarily further.

First, “analogy”? There is no analogy. I thought that was pretty clear from my post. But I guess not, to you.

Second, I knew someone would jump in with “We were defeated blah blah blah”. That’s why I specifically wrote the commies failed “during that campaign”. Never did I say anything about the eventuality the of the entire war. But I guess you missed that, too.
