Yes, he's crazy. He'll never become sane. it's over for him. Non compos mentis. Around the bend. Nuts. Cuckoo for cocoa puffs. Gone with the wind.

Meanwhile, "They sacrificed thousands of their children in waves of poorly equipped front-line troops to halt the Iraqi invasion." etc in re: sacrificing as many kids as it takes.

How about this - let the kids live their lives and send the old warmongers off to fight the battles. The world wouldn't mourn the sacrificing of 300,000 instigators of wars. Obviously, they have no regard for youth so send those with blood lust off to die. I won't mind that, at all.

As a matter of fact, send off everyone who thinks war is a good idea and leave the rest of us alone to get on with life. It's already enough of a challenge.

I'm ready to see Barron sent off to do his Patriotic duty.

Don't hold your breath. At least 5 generations of trumps have shirked their patriotic duty.

Besides, he's so freakishly tall that, if he sticks his head about the turret, it will be an easy target for friendly fire.

I'm a bit unclear how exactly trump plans to "take" Kharg island. It is north of the Strait, so some ship is going to have to get TO the Strait to offload boots to the ground. (I suppose they could walk up the coast and then swim over?) But is it feasible to get an American war ship through the Strait? I suppose the "boots" could parachute in and "take" the island but apparently Iran has other ports it can use and would just divert what it produces to there. So the boots would just sit there admiring the ground. Perhaps Hegseth could parachute down and they could all pray.

Good questions. One clarification here is that other ports probably don't have quite the massive storage capacity as Kharg, but you can spin those up prettty quickly, as anyone who lives near Houston can attest. I can't think of any other legit targets for 2500 ground troops (and maybe 500 Special Ops).

If Hegseth has managed to fire enough competent generals and replace them with people who will go along with his bizarre fantasies, then the next president is going to inherit yet another big problem. They'll need to re-professionalize the armed forces.

Well done!
