A few months ago, I would have said that taking the island would be relatively easy, given the size and strength of the US military, but keeping it would be the hard part.
Now I don’t know if we could even take it. These fucking assholes have hollowed out our military.
I thought they were going to take it when sending troops there early in the war, I think that it’s too vulnerable to drone and missile strikes to hold nowadays now, or else the navy would’ve taken it already.
This is another half baked negotiation tactic from the greatest mind in the world, that of our 80 some year old piece of shit president.
They can prevent Iran from using it, if they try to set up a base there, it’s vulnerable to attacks.
Most of Iran is a mountain sticking out of the water, meaning any landing force has to arrive on a small sliver of undefended sand and drive single file over mountain roads with drones picking them off, or attack fortified places white being pelted by drones. It won’t be a happy casualty count.

If I were dumb enough to be a marine or a ranger, I’d definitely be thinking of creative ways to get a medical discharge right about now. Better to be suckling at the teat of the Va and disability than either dying on a beach or die while riding a helicopter crashing into another helicopter.

Good luck. The VA has been gutted and will drop you like it’s nothing.
