I certainly saw it in my time that the wounds and injuries don't necessarily all become apparent.
until sometimes days or even weeks after an attack or a strike, just particularly when it comes to, for instance, traumatic brain injury.
So, I mean, we'll see.
But my sense is that the numbers of wounded and injured will probably go up.
It's a significant amount of ground troops.
You're talking about two Marine Corps expeditionary units.
Each one is about 3,500 Marines or so.
So now you're up to around 7,000, 8,000.
And then now we're talking maybe 10,000 or more Army soldiers as well.
That's a very significant ground force.
They are capable of a multitude of different operations.
missions.
The Marines are very good at expeditionary warfare, about taking ground and holding it for certain amounts of time.
These Army troops that will be coming in might have additional capabilities to bring and could, in fact, maybe stay longer and sustain themselves on the beach for quite an amount of time.
I agree with the assessment that he hasn't ordered
massive amounts of military into a region without using it.
And we just saw that, of course, over the last four weeks when he assembled a tremendous amount of air and naval power to do what he's doing in Iran.
So the fact that these troops are being deployed tells me that they do have plans on the shelf.
Now, whether they'll execute those plans or if the negotiations go well, maybe they can call it off.
But this doesn't look to me like some kind of a bluff or a negotiating tactic.
