“I haven’t heard anything about a ground invasion.” — my MAGA coworker.
Starting to wonder if I can make a legitimate case to HR that I don’t feel safe around MAGAts. Every day that passes I wonder if this is the one where he’ll snap and bring a gun to the office.
One of the ARG’s chief uses, as explained in its official guide, is, under certain situations, to carry out “the rapid insertion of sustainable combat forces—“boots on the ground"
Indeed, this is the primary reason we have the Marines. They land, establish a beachhead, and make it possible for a larger force to land safely. There’s no reason to send in the Marines unless you also plan on sending in the army.
So which is it? By sending in the Marines are you committing us to a potentially decades long war in Iran that nobody asked for? Or are you wasting everybody’s time and money and endangering lives on a pretend invasion you don’t even plan to follow through on?
It’s terrible leadership either way, but for the people involved, I hope it’s the second one.
I expect this to go badly for America. As a citizen, I prefer failure over success.
Vietnam II, coming to a theater near you this spring.
Fucking hell, how about coup instead military? Christ almighty
How about a non-military coup while the military is otherwise occupied? I have yet to see how ICE performs when faced with anything other than clergy, frogs, nurses, and high schoolers, but I have seen a lot of them eject their clip, drop their guns, and cram themselves into Temu tactical vests with all the breathing room of a corset.
Oil companies gonna make bank cause of these guys. This is a sacrifice the oligarchs are willing to make to keep their fake ass scam economy spinning.
“When this regime goes down, we are going to have a new Middle East, and we are going to make a tonne of money.” - U.S. Senator Lindsey Graham.
So here is a question
Why hasn’t the army just kicked him out of his seat, commit a coup? Serious question
The guy is killing US soldiers for his benefit
You’re talking about people who willingly joined the US military, including people who enlisted while Trump was president.
So I’ll just let you go ahead and figure that one out on your own.
Because they’re in the military. People with options don’t join the military no matter what military recruiters tell you.
Why would I join the military for terrible pay, and get shot at, when I could do literally any other job, for more money, I don’t get deployed to ill equipped war zones, I get to go home at the end of every day, and don’t get shot?
You have to be a certain type of person to join the military, and that sort of person is not one prone to introspection.
The common clay of the new west. You know…
Replacing a psychotic dictator with a military dictatorship isn’t a step in the right direction.
No ambiguity this time. They know they’re going over there to die for oil.
These days American manufacturing is so bad they couldn’t even manufacture consent
Consent is for democracies, which is evil woke liberal nonsense.
“Some of you will die making the world’s first trillionaire”
Not so sure though. Some are going to die to distract from the Trump-Epstein files. The split is not clear though. Let’s say 50% for Trump-Epstein, 50% for oil.
A non-zero amount think they are going to kick-start Judgment Day.
I’d be totally fine with it if they all got raptured so we didn’t have to deal with them anymore.
Now I’m curious: is there any story about the non raptured people on earth building a paradise on earth after the crazies left?
Thats kind of a big part of it. Like Armageddon is the the end of their world. The end of the oppression of women and children, of the slave labor that benefits them. So yeah, once they get done killing people it’s supposed to be better for the savages who don’t ascend.
Well that sounds like a really shitty way to die.
Jeffrey thanks you for your service, though.
Time to add a few more bars to Dumb Ways to Die ?
Or you can pick jail instead
Not that they had to join the military in the first place of course. Even the Trump admin don’t force conscription.
If you aren’t willing to stand by your values then you never had any
People with values prefer jail over massacring civilians in an illegal war
This was my point
Values like…profits for oil barons and distracting from peophilic rape? Is “bombing schoolgirls” a value?
You’re reading me backwards
I like how this news comes out right after futures markets closed for the weekend. Im sure the right people got their positions in place before the bell.
The whole week leading up to the war I knew with full certainty that nothing would happen until market close on Friday.
It’s been trumps MO for a decade, you can set your watch to it.
This is levels of stupid that I can not comprehend.
cui bono
The real stupid are the officers and grunts following these orders. Trump just spouts bullshit all the time but he’s aware enough to not actually put himself in physical danger. But these bots are about to go over there and die for a charlatan child rapist instead of stopping and using their brain.
This is why Jesus said it’s a foolish and doomed idea to swear oaths and pledge allegiances.
First move the “christian nation” clan makes?
“Yeah we’re making everyone pledge to an idol now, and they have to do whatever the one waving it says, lol. Lmao, even.”
Their entire instinct has been honed meticulously to obey orders and you think they’ll somehow come to a sudden communal realization that they are doing the bidding of an evil conman and stop in their tracks?
They will not hesitate firing on US civilians either, if you were under that impression.
No i dont think that, hence my comment lol
That might be enough troops to take Kharg Island, but I’m no military planner.
All I do know is that 2,200 marines is not a ground invasion force for mainland Iran.
Edit: corrected marine count
Umm ya it is. Its the perfect amount.
They all dead or captured and paraded around worse than the US embassy hostage crisis in the 70s. Iran will be very happy.
If they’re following these orders, it would be no less than they deserve.
A pre-emptive “womp womp” for every cowardly US soldier that goes along with this and gets domed.
Be prepared for heroic social media content!

LMAO! I actually have a story from Iraq that goes with this. In the last few days before we left, we had a platoon cookout, and our NBC specialist did this with a chunk of ice cubes that froze together in the shape of a dick. But instead of having his head positioned like this, he tilted his head back. Well his grip on the ice slipped and he dropped it down till it got lodged in the back of his throat. The medics took one look and they’re all shoulders “keep calm, breath slow and let the ice dick melt” those are words I will remember till I take my last breath.
Your NBC Specialist learned a lot about themselves that day!
unintentional deepthroat.
That’s fucking great! XD
Light brigade- CHARGE!
