re: #9 Jay C

from belowthread:

So - faced with what has almost certainly been well-organized and carefully-stage-managed (and now-terminated) piece of Riot Theater in Baghdad (and never mind that it appears - IMO - to have been stage-managed by what is supposed to be a “friendly” “allied” government), Trump’s reaction is to treat this like Operation Overlord redux?
And what are all these “greatest Warfighters” going to do once they get there? Strut around in combat gear to boldly defend the Embassy against an attack that’s NOT going to happen?

Idiot….

Trump basically making a play at repeating St. Ron’s Beirut barracks bombing, rushing troops into a central location as a “show of force,” but really presents little more than a convenient target to terrorist groups who don’t give a flying fuck about civilian casualties.
