I think we are going bomb Iran until it looks like Gaza!!




🚨🚨🇺🇸 Reports say USS Arlington is loading nonstop in Norfolk, with armed security nearby.

Here is what that actually means.

Arlington is an amphibious transport dock, LPD-24, San Antonio class. Think of it as a floating logistics hub for a Marine landing force. It can embark hundreds of Marines plus vehicles, ammunition, and supplies, then push them ashore using landing craft from its well deck and helicopters or tilt rotor aircraft from its flight deck.

It is a ship you load when you might need Marines and equipment on short notice.

If the US is rushing to backfill gear now, it suggests basic readiness and prepositioning was not in place before Trump lit the match. You do not start a war and then remember the packing list.

So which is it. Evacuation, deterrence, or the first step into something bigger?

1. I'm thinking they are going to put boots on the ground

They thought this was going to be like Venezuela and now realize their mistake.

I very much hope I'm wrong.

3. That's what it sounds like to me, too...

This is the sort of ship meant for a ground invasion. An increased bombing campaign wouldn’t require it.

And sending an invading force into a country that large seems like a really bad idea.

5. That's why I think it's for boots on the ground

Ex was in the navy, my son in the marines. So I know what that ship is for.

I just don't want to be correct.

2. Escalation is my guess

Trump's theory was if he did a little aerial bombardment and killed their president, the Iranians would celebrate their conquering heroes with the greatest of pleasure. It didn't work so now he needs to send troops in.

4. From my sources in the USMC, which I won't reveal,

this war is just about to greatly escalate with fellow Marines bearing the brunt of Trumpedo's illegal war.
So, how many of my sister and brother Marines are going to die because of his ego?

Fucking Congress needs to assert control over this insane, illegal war, when is that going to happen?

[Lifeafter70]

6. It should take about two weeks to get there

Hopefully congress will get there head out of their ass and stop this madness.

9. You mean out of Trumpedo's ass?

[Lifeafter70]

11. You said it better

Am I correct about the time line
It's been a lot of years since my ex served in the Navy. I remember how long he was gone on westpac tours. But that was in the late 60s and early 70s.

[MarineCombatEngineer]

12. You are correct.

7. What's the point of having the world's largest,

most powerful military if we don't use it? Someone has been champing at the bit to play with his military toys. He was so disappointed in his military parade, so now he can make up for it.

[Lifeafter70]

8. More like make them pay

For disappointing him.

[PatSeg]

13. Ah yes

That makes perfect sense. He was so pissed at them that day.
