I've never really got this meme. Maybe he wanted 14000 men? 6000 is less than half

The joke is that it just happens to be barely less than half.

And also that he meant spears literally

But 6002 isn't more than half of 14000. The original line implies he wants something around 14000-16000 ish, but the meme changes that to mean he wants almost exactly 12002.
