Matt Bracken is a former Navy SEAL and spec ops veteran, and he just delivered one of the most sobering comparisons I've heard yet:
Kharg Island is the size of Iwo Jima, where the U.S. pounded the island with battleships for WEEKS before landing 70,000 Marines... and still lost 7,000 lives and had 19,000 wounded in a single month.
Qeshm Island is bigger than Okinawa, which took 3 months and cost 12,000 American lives.
Iran has had decades to tunnel these islands, study U.S. tactics, and prepare for precisely this scenario, and unlike Japan in WWII, they have precision missiles that can reach every inch of the Persian Gulf.
"If we went into Iran, I think we will lose everybody we send in, the more we send in, the more we lose, and the Iranians have been very open about saying, come on in, we welcome you."
Matt ended by saying rationality is out the window, and that this started with a February 28th sneak attack, so nothing should be considered off the table.
Great talking to you, @Matt_Bracken48
