As a citizen of the Lowcountry here in SC I have a message for Lady G. You can jump your queer ass off the Ravenel bridge. Its really easy for a childless homesexual to volunteer others kids to die for your continued paychecks.

This dude Graham is insane.

He is the definition of a punk ass.

Volunteer your own ass into harm's way Lindsay.

---

I agree he is dangerous. He did put his ass in harms way for 33 years. So as crazy as he is, that is one area he walked the walk.

---

He was JAG and was stationed in Germany. Was he in harms way in a court in peace time Germany? Gimme a f'n break. He also is on record admitting he never deployed. In 1998, the Capitol Hill daily newspaper The Hill contended that Graham was describing himself on his website as an Operation Desert Shield and Desert Storm veteran. Graham responded: "I have not told anybody I'm a combatant. I'm not a war hero, and never said I was. ... If I have lied about my military record, I'm not fit to serve in Congress", further noting that he "never deployed".[url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#cite_note-20][20][/url][url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lindsey_Graham#cite_note-21][21][/url]

---

To be fair, anyone who signs up for our military is putting him or herself in harms way. Still, that doesn't mean that he has any higher credibility than anyone else speaking on issues of war.

---

With respect...I disagree.

There is a huge difference between the guys on the front lines risking their precious ass and the glorified paper pushers in the rear. In a perfect world only those who have seen the burning corpses should be pushing for war.

The horrors of sudden death are too easily sanitized by the time the casket arrives at Dover Air Force Base.

Bush was the last president to see combat. That is very unfortunate.

---

You might not end up in combat and you may never suffer anything greater than a paper cut, but when you sign up, you are (potentially) putting yourself in harms way, whether it be a terrorist attack on a military base or an unforeseen military disaster that puts you in a combat role.

---

Understand your perspective.

But if one has not experienced the horror......one is more likely to be thrilled playing Rambo.

And senator Graham is a classic example.

My growing concern is that TRUMP has now caught the Rambo bug.

---

One need not serve, or serve in a forward military position to see and/or experience the horrors of war.

Am I the only one who believes the death toll is significantly higher than 6? (Or 8)

In basing this on all our assets in the region that has been hit. ( Bahrain/Qatar/Saudi)

No you aren't.

We've gone from Baghdad Bob to Princeton Pete.

The KIA number was stuck on 6 for a long time. They finally bumped it to 8.

They finally admitted to 140 casualties.

In modern wars, the typical ratio of wounded to killed in action (KIA) can vary, but it is often around 3-to-1 or higher, with some reports indicating ratios as high as 5-to-1. So based on historical data, the actual KIA number should be somewhere between 27 and 44.

Now whether they are going to slow roll the real numbers or try to pull a Pat Tillman, it's hard to say. I'm sure the families have to sign NDAs to get any benefits.

That wounded to KIA ratio is right about where it should be.

Compared to the 17:1 ratio the DOD is asking us to believe.

But look. The government lied about JFK. They lied about Epstein. They lied about Covid. This is a white lie in comparison.

Death toll? Yeah, we are talking 11 days. To put in perspective, this is data from Inherent Resolve (ISIS). It is really not apples to apples, but this is not Iraq or Afghanistan where you have troops on the ground. Not saying good or bad, just giving perspective.
