AP now reports that another 2500 marines are en route on USS Boxer and two other war ships.
This could indicate Trump will attempt to occupy the Strait of Hormuz.
Desert Square Gardener@randahl I served as a Corpsman (Navy combat medic) with the 31st Marine Expeditionary Unit (MEU) and deployed with the 7th Fleet amphibious assault fleet based out of Japan. I don't have current information, but based on my experience, the Marine detachment WILL make an amphibious assault landing.
Internet Rando@desertsquare @randahl I just wish we could write "Don't follow illegal orders" on their crayons. =(
Crystal_Fish_Caves@mousey @desertsquare @randahl I feel so stupid I thought no way our military leaders would do this.
Sir, yes sir! Just as soon as we have authorization from Congress we'll blast the shit out of whatever want.
Not: blast a school start an illegal war?...brain says no ... training says We're on it sir!
Im an idiot.
@Crystal_Fish_Caves
I didn't think this would happen either, I thought the highly educated general officers and admirals would follow the law and constitution. We are taught in boot camp to only obey lawful orders.
@desertsquare @mousey @randahl I think our military needs less emphasis on Obey and more on THE LAW.
