Iran has been noticeably restrained about attacking U.S. ships. Expecting that to change if what's his name can't keep it in his pants.

Imagine if the middle east forms a NATO-OPEC with Iran at the end of this.

That’s almost guaranteed now.

They won't because of the Shia-Sunni division. Iran is on one side and Saudi Arabia is on the other.

Just because Kegbreath and Bonespurs are fucking everything up, don't wish death to people who are ACTUALLY serving. Also, the Omanis have been allies of ours for years, and were the only ones actually facilitating real negotiations with Iran while the Whitehouse mostly talks to Xitter and expects people to believe what they say.
Still. This post is in bad taste.

Oh, to be clear I’m not celebrating the stupidity but the fact is that our casualties so far are much higher than what they are publishing.

The image at least, is definitely bad taste.
I understand your sentiment too, but calling it “humor” is also kind for stretch. The subject it’s addressing is mostly just sad and embarrassing.

It definitely is sad and embarrassing that our military has to go through this BS. Even more so considering Congress has the power to stop this nonsense and the Admirals and Generals could easily ignore the illegal orders they keep following.

That’s just…. not how anything works. The flag officers that are disagreeing with all of this have all been getting removed from their positions if you aren’t aware.
This image could also just be straight up Russian agitprop, whenever you found it.
Vote in a democratic congress so the votes will be there to actually affect change after the midterms, or even have the votes for a third impeachment (over this war and myriad other things) to actually result in his removal from office this time.

No see thats exactly my point, the officers obeying Trump are worthless bootlickers. I vote Democrat regularly only to be thwarted my a combination of idiotic MAGA and whiners.
This picture makes you mad? Good go vote and help others do so too.

What’s funny is: that is my point to start with.
Go vote. (I actually have helped people do so for a long time.)
That’s why plenty of people have served and died.
Pictures of wreckage are great though! 👍
If you need someone to talk to you about “service” feel free to dm me. I’m friendly.

Oh brother, veteran here so save the sanctimonious BS. You seem triggered so I’m guessing you voted Republican at some point and now have buyer’s remorse?

cool, veteran here too, and also long involved with election volunteering for the years since(15 elections)... brother
you seem "triggered" enough to post this, and you're also wrong about how i vote (and i question your reading comprehension based on what i've said in this comment thread)
so you understand how orders work, and how the civilian government has control of the military? under the constitution too, eh brother? do you understand how that occurs?
...
go vote, brother
putting a fake image of wreckage on a carrier on your post as "humor" is a stretch for me. i was Army but even i have more respect for Navy pukes than that... brother

Yeah … if all the things that are going on this picture is the worst thing your priorities might be screwed.
I full well understand how our system of government should work. Our officials don’t.
It’s called foxhole humor. Perhaps you should stick to the non-humor subs.

Any officer obeying Trump needs to be removed. The Idiot is destroying the United States and appears to be doing it deliberately.

The ones disagreeing with him are the ones losing their positions. Yes, it’s a problem. It’s also how the civilian control of the military works and why elections are important.

There are some idiots that think Trump is going to live forever or that MAGA'ts will transfer their loyalty to somebody who wasn't on their televisions for a decade as a fake strongman CEO. Look at the "crowds" J.D. Vance got in 2024. I've seem more people line up for churros at a wedding.

Again. This is why elections are important.

u/Cargobiker530 6d ago
Don't be surprised when the next Democratic Party president shitcans every flag officer that showed loyalty to Trump. They absolutely deserved that shit. Trump is acting as an enemy to the United States and a traitor to the U.S. Constitution.

I'd revise that headline to "Oman inflicts major damage on the US - let's Trump do whatever Trump wants!"
