You have Marines, and some of this is feints.

If you were to ask me, I think that the Marine element is probably the feint, because what I would think is that they're gonna try and pose as if they're about to take over some island, that's kind of what they want, to concentrate their military resources

while you have a paratrooper unit which is capable of coming in and deploying anywhere across the country.

So they want to keep the Iranian attention divided and uncertain as to where actually some sort of landing or some sort of attack is going to actually take place.

But some of these units may be employed at any time, obviously, to go in and to participate in a very, very risky operation.

And the reason why it's truly risky is that it's not a lot of people.

Like they would have to come in for something for what?

And are they really going to have the protection that they need?

Very unlikely.

That's the danger.

Absolutely.

And, you know, part of the reason why almost every president does it is it's the easy option.

The diplomacy stuff, that's actually hard.

That's way harder.

And you've got some guy raising cane.

He's wearing his Patagonia vest and he's sitting there.

They're selling you a dream.

Of course we could do it, right?

Couple a tepid thing.

You got an idiot like Pete Hegseth and others in the Oval or in the Situation Room.
