1. Was the main purpose of this exercise to get a better picture of the "Southern White House"?

2. What are those oblong gizmos cabled together in the middle of the Trump supper table?

Does anyone know?

4. Wow - I just asked the same question at the same time

Enquiring minds want to know!

7. Perhaps pagers for room service? n/t

3. What are those little boxes that they have instead of those big laptops?

Anyone know what that technology is?

5. I'm assuming they are some kind of comm devices...

maybe mini terminals of some kind in lieu of laptops. You use cables instead of wifi, which is easier to listen in on.

6. Because there were no soldiers in harms way in the missile strike? ???

9. Sitting in subs off the coast firing off TLAM salvoes doesn't really compare

with invading a compound in Pakistan with unknown defenses and getting out again.

Assuming we're just talking about US servicepeople being in harm's way, of course.
