I voted for Trump 3X. Of he ran again today I’d vote for him again.

But…..he’s done a piss poor job of managing the conflict with Iran. I supported the war at the onset. I don’t support the cease fires or the negotiations. I do support the use of ground troops in limited roles like taking islands like Larak, Greater Tunb and maybe a few others. I recognize that it will mean casualties. Probably a lot of them. While I don’t like the idea of Americans dying anymore than the next guy I also realize that it’s the cost of winning a war.

And before you say, “Why don’t sign up and head over there tough guy?” I served as in infantryman in the Iraq war. I did many deployments to different parts of Africa as a military contractor. I am more aware than most the cost the young men and women will have to pay. My two sons are of military age and if they decide to enlist I will support them and also still support sending our military into harms way to defeat Iran.

It’s clear that you don’t have a sense of humor or the ability to form an opinion and discuss the topic. Most posters just yelling “Dumbass!” Or “Alter!” or “Dumbass Alter.”

Now I know you’ll want to reply with, “Yeah well you are a dumbass alter so I’m not going to bother wasting my time actually making a response.”

But you and I and everyone else reading thread knows you simply don’t have the brainpower or knowledge of the situation to actually do so.

Up to 33 posts dumb arse!!!

Volumes of posting doesn’t make you smarter dumb arse

Think of it as if you have this vault and it's got billions of dollars in it and it just magically continues to put billions of dollars in it no matter how much you take out.

Now imagine you've been living off of this for almost fifty years.

And then it's gone.


That's the purpose.

you are not a smart man.

should we bomb it, where will the 35 million barrels of oil go?

exxon valdez was only 11 million barrels in a much bigger body of water.

deep water horizon was less than 5 million barrels in a much larger body of water.

what happens when 35 million barrels leak into the persian gulf?

If we controlled the strait like I’m suggesting the Kharg island is completely irrelevant.
