Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth is sending an amphibious assault ship, the USS Tripoli, and its Marine expeditionary unit to the Middle East, a senior U.S. official confirmed to Axios on Friday.

Huh, I thought the war was over?
I mean, the war that wasn’t really a war and many of his sycophantic apparatchiks were claiming would not have boots on the ground?
Don’t forget what you’re fighting for.
Not to mention giving the crazy xtian fucks their pipe dreams of having Jayzus come back on a cloud and rapture all these morons up while they get to watch other tortured horribly.
I mean, what a perfectly normal ethical system. It doesn’t sound at all like a dream of a total psychopath, getting front row seats to others being tortured and reveling in the notion that they’d be tortured forever. By a loving god, because they didn’t accept the highly-dubious truth claims and demented ethical system offered up in “the” bible…

Marines, remember who you are fighting for…

What will be this quagmire’s “Fortune Son” I wonder
Pretty sure it’s Fortunate Son.
At least they aren’t coming to US cities.
Say “No!” to military service.
Dogde the draft.When you only have a hammer, everything is a nail.
I’d say, “why not ICE”, but the likelihood that they’d gleefully commit crimes against humanity as soon as their boots hit the soil makes me not wish ICE upon even America’s enemies.
