He’s going to need as many bodies as possible.

This will give those older MAGA men that are older a chance to test their macho man to man shit against a .223 or 5.56 or better (not sure what Iran uses).

For the rest of us, parents especially - take care of your sons and daughters. I say daughters because while this administration and Pete H., hate DEI , they will discover that there are just not enough men. And, when the body bags start coming home - he will discover that they even like Trans people to serve.
