In November 1979 I dropped out of college and joined the Marines. I worked very hard to ensure that if/when we went into Iran, I'd be a part of it.
I had three friends killed in the Beirut bombing attack in 1983.
Since then, every Iranian proxy in the region has been bombing embassies, killing US troops and destabilizing the region thru nuclear/ICBM blackmail.
Until this past year, every time Israel was going to end this; we stepped in to stop them going back to the Lebanese civil war. Across multiple decades/parties, we have been complicit in getting to this point where a mad-theocracy blackmails the world into compliance
I personally hope we've already introduced regime leadership to the ferryman
God Bless our President and our Armed Forces
“It was miraculous. It was almost no trick at all, he saw, to turn vice into virtue and slander into truth, impotence into abstinence, arrogance into humility, plunder into philanthropy, thievery into honor, blasphemy into wisdom, brutality into patriotism, and sadism into justice. Anybody could do it; it required no brains at all. It merely required no character.”
Joseph Heller, Catch 22
