The Russians don't have actual stormtroopers. They have "meat waves".

Are you suggesting we let the homeless sleep in our old unused military hardware that we're sending to ukraine?

Millions of homeless? No. 580k homeless per HUD estimates. 28% of that is in just NY & LA, only Seattle has just over 10k, and not that many major cities even have over 5k. It's quite pretty impressive given the enormity of our population.
