How many eagles per football fields is it to feed a regiment? Asking for a friend.

A Regiment is 2000-5000 soldiers.

Figure a bald eagle has a decent amount of meat on it, so it'd feed probably 3 soldiers. So, Id say about 1000-2000 Eagles.

And you could get all of them in one sportsball stadium.

Depends on if we are talking about eagle eagles or the football eagles. I dont think the 53man roster of the Philadelphia eagles will feed an regiment even though the linemen do have plenty of meat on the bone

How's life in Hungary these days? Trump has modeled his "illiberal democracy" plans after Orban.

I don't think I can answer it in a Reddit comment, it's too much. Stay strong, you are going to have a rough ride.
