Wish they didn’t film them landing. You ain’t stealth if they know where you are. Stomp them and leave.

Letting them know the Marines are in Baghdad and the 82nd Airborne is on the way does not matter if there nothing they can do about it. Let's hope there is good intel on this.

Besides that, if Marine Osperys are armed, this might make a good field test.

The military wouldn’t have let them be filmed if it didn’t serve a military purpose. It probably was meant to give Iran a momentary pause in its attacks on the embassy.

President Trump is throwing down the gauntlet - he told Iran they were going to pay and now he’s telling them he’s putting forces in place....no sense in openly making a threat and then skulking around...not to mention that this deployment may also mask other actions...If Iran were to try to capitalize on this, the hammer would come down very hard and fast and they also know it.
