1. Iwo took 3 divisions of Marines and 30 some days...

We currently have about 2 battalions of Marines on boats there.

As usual, trump & co don't know what they're doing.

[Strelnikov_]

5. 7k dead, 15k wounded

For a battle many historians say did not have to be fought.

Really something to replicate.

[GiqueCee]

2. Lindsey...

... WILL. YOU. PLEASE. SHUT THE FUCK UP! You're an embarrassment to your species, whatever the hell that is; it sure ain't human.

[durablend]

3. Who the fuck is this "we"?

You'll be hiding in a bunker or in the closet somewhere

[Talitha]

12. "or in the closet somewhere"

I see what you did there.

[yourout]

4. What a moron.

6. We also had a plan for Iwo. What is our plan now? Take more oil out of the world supply? Brilliant.

Not to mention probably get a bunch of our people killed. And if the Iranians go crazy Ivan on us and blow up the Kharg oil facilities despite their own suffering from that, it will send a shock wave thru the economic markets. We can take a lot of things militarily but then what? Maybe we need to start taking the mushroom folks like Lindsey seem to be doing so we can better understand their magical thinking.

7. You first, asshole

Directed at Lindsey Graham, not red dog 1

[Deuxcents]

8. Lindsey is a warmonger..someone who doesn't have to sacrifice anything

[surfered]

9. Lindsey is as crazy as Trump. The lunatics have taken over the asylum!

[Maru Kitteh]

10. Is that his squadron of "ladybugs" I hear aboout talking?

Is that the “we” in this scenario?

He could have been a decent man. That was an option, but he chose this instead. Fuck that diseased, evil hypocrite.

[LogDog75]

11. What were American casualities on Iwo Jima?

Nearly 17,000 killed and over 19,000 wounded.

Why would a chickenhawk like Graham want to see Americans die trying to take an island that won't do a thing to end the Orange Turd's war?

[Initech]

13. Iwo Jima was a fight against fascism.

If we can fight fascists overseas, we can fight them here.

[struggle4progress]

14. I expect brave Lindsey will lead the troops ashore himself

[tinrobot]

15. Iwo Jima was an expensive battle for an island we didn't need.

The Army thought we needed it, but the Navy disagreed about the strategic importance.

Ultimately, the Navy was right. The airbase there was barely used.

The island could have been skipped, saving thousands of lives.

16. What a putrid degenerate he is. A sort of court jester without one ounce of integrity.

[Ilsa]

17. Sounds like he didn't go to War College.

Therefore, he should STFU until he learns something about it.
