If Trump And Hegseth Knew Everything

That was going to happen then why are they just now sending Marines and some Amphibious landing ships and other Navy war ships??? Some of those Marines and ships are going to take weeks to get there. They're even trying to spin it like they'll get there ahead of schedule. They really do think we're dumb and they are geniuses. I'm an ex Marine and I'm scared for these guys.

Wait, what?! They are sending in troops to fight a war that they already won!??? He stated clearly that we won and didn't need anyone else's help.

Gee, sounds like he doesn't know what the F**K HE IS DOING!!!

Once a Marine always a Marine. But it has been 40 years since I wore the uniform.

Just wait...

He could very well reinstate the draft. Then, he's such a lover of women



NOT

that I predict he'll ride MAGAcongress and his Supremes asses until they agree to draft women. The groundwork is already there. Take a look.

They'd light themselves on fire with the white gas. burn up all the cars in the parking lot, and the building would remain intact.
