Not yet. But the feckless idiocies and projection of weakness by the President Erect and his maladministration will surely lead to an attack that kills large numbers of Americans somewhere or another Iran-hostage type situation.
We may even stumble into another great power conflict like WWI.
Same, and I’m of draft age and a former officer. Glad I got out and I would absolutely ignore any draft notices. They can fight their forever wars without me.
Is that in addition to my tally?

I totally agree. I do not expect anything like Japan’s sneak attack on Pearl Harbor. But I sure can see a bunch of idiots in various capitals making bad decisions after bad decisions. The next thing you know, it’s go time.
I’m not the biggest fan of Donald Trump. But we really need his steady hand in times like these. Instead we have Potato Head Biden, a sock puppet who is controlled by who knows who.
IF the US puts troops on the ground in Israel, Zelensky will be DEMANDING American fodder for his war. Count on it.
Thanks. So this is separate from the ready-deploy.
Mediterranean/Israel/Jordan Deployment Tally over the past week:
Marine Corps Expeditionary Unit 2400
USS Eisenhower 5000
USS Gerald Ford 5000
101st air mobile support 6000
Ready to Deploy 2000-3000
Total: 21,400
Insanity
Unfortunately, all affected Marines (these days) will get to vote on whether to land in a battle zone where there is violence occurring...
If they do, they will have to be willing to use tasers and rubber bullets...
2,000 Marines, on one Navy vessel, cruising around the Mediterranean, just off shore of Egypt and Gaza?
Sounds like a massacre begging to happen.
Three ships, not one.
Sorry - my mistake.
No mention of F-35 combat aircraft anywhere in that geographic area.
My thoughts as well; and, the anniversary of the bombing of the Marine Barracks in Beirut is the 23rd of this month.
The Marines have been hung out to dry in ME before.
You really think the Iranians are relying on my post for their info? Cmon man.
Yet those marines are not allowed to protect the US’s southern boarder from invasion.
