I don’t know if you wanna bomb DC. I like a lot of the monuments and museums there. Can you just gas it instead?

    If they bomb the white house it won't even be noticeable

    They’ve already set it on fire once, go ahead and do it again

    Didn't it get guttered and rebuilt a couple of decades back anyway. I'm sure I read somewhere, actually it might have been in one of the X-Men movies, that it's completely different now to how it what originally rebuilt after the fire. So this would be at least the 4th iteration of the White House.

    They're the only country with experience in burning the White House to the ground. Just let them do their job.

    It was the British and they didnt burn it to the ground so I'm not sure why people think thats what happened. It was a retaliation attack for the US fighting in Canada, sure. But they weren't Canadian troops.

    They didnt burn it to the ground because the building burnt too fast for them to get the fire hot enough. The outer walls and bits inside were still standing. I believe the British even ate dinner in the house because the chef had prepared it for the president or something but I couldn't find a source for that.

    Aside from the government parts, a lot of DC residents are at least non Republican voters, I suggest narrowing down the target area some.

    There are like 15 conservative/republican people in this entire city, and that's only because there is one in the white house plus his crew. It's definitely the bluest place imaginable, in the USA at least.
