Do they? I'd like to hear from tequila. I believe he said his son is in the military. He said he felt better about his son being in the military under Trump than Biden. I'd like to know if he feels like the military deserves better. Most military and veterans voted for this war.

My cousin's son will now get "active theater" pay as a secret underwater explosives guy in the marines.
I'll let you know if he gets blowed up.
We'll see if she wraps her (Texas) self in the American flag as a Trump loving patriot after that.

A nuclear suicide vest would probably be the least damaging nuke that could be used on us. Essentially it's a dirty bomb contained to a 100-200 yard radius and clean up would be possible.chazzed said:JD Vance claims Iran was going to use Nuclear Suicide Vests and kill tens of thousands of people that's why they had to attack.

Hard to keep track of all the wars! Maybe if we can actually finish 1-2 of these, we can move on to Greenland.

It has been 10 days since Hegseth and Caine last briefed on Iran. No CENTCOM briefing since 3/10, and no Pentagon daily press briefing at all. We learn more of what the U.S. military has been doing from bystander videos than DoD. Historic lack of transparency and accountability.
