retard brains on twitter honestly think 2,500 marines are going to tip the scales in US-Iran war.

If you gaslight them enough, they'll even tell you they could take over the whole country.

@Terry
Lots of Fox News tards bringing up Iwo Jima and Okinawa without understanding what hellish battles those were with very high casualties.

I'd go to Okinawa maybe, the TV says it has plenty of cute cheerful girls.

@pinemarten @Terry Okinawa US had like 80,000 troops on the ground and over a hundred ships off shore and still took a bloody beating. Reason they was hysterical toward the USSR for dragging their feet to join the war on Japan and afraid to invade the Japanese mainland.

@pinemarten @Terry Also worth examining just how drastically technology has changed in the last 80 years

The machine gun nest was the most challenging thing US soldier would face

Now they have to face machine gun nests and swarms of remote controlled flying bombs

If battle hardened Russians can't figure out how to beat that, the mutt brigade who's never had another human fire back at them in anger certainly won't

@pinemarten the transport ships and escorts will have to pass a strait in between Queshm island (larger than Okinawa) and Iran, which is 5 miles wide and it's widest part, less than a mile wide at it's narrowest. It will be a total shooting gallery.

If they miraculously survive that without too many casualties they can still be targeted by Iranian missiles as they sail up to Kharg Island and if they by some miracle survive that, when they try their D-day style landings on Kharg island, they will meet a determined "near peer" foe, and if they manage to overcome that and establish a beach head, they will quickly find their positions were dialed in weeks ago by the IRGC as every available ordinance in the area is rained down on them.

And on top of all that any resupply by sea, would have to run the same gauntlet they just went through.

Resupply by air is impractical and just as risky.
