If you have the troops available, you are more likely to use them.

Last week I saw a report that the Dover Air Force Base mortuary was emergency hiring a number of "personal effects specialists." Their job is to sort through the personal effects of dead soldiers returned from overseas -- clean, launder, fold, sort, photograph, catalog, prepare personal effects to send them back to the families.

Trump and Hogsbreath knew weeks ago they were going to send in ground forces. It's the old adage: Amateurs talk tactics, professionals talk logistics. Trump and Hogsbreath are rank amateurs. Stupid amateurs at that. Those two ignorant muthahfukahs think all they have to do is wave 5,000 young Marines at Iran and the Iranians will beg for unconditional surrender.

You can't land 5,000 young jarheads without following up immediately with artillery, fuel, tanks, armored troop carriers, water, food, ammo, trucks trucks and more trucks, and on and on and on -- did I mention fuel, water, ammo, food, trucks and more trucks, ammo, artillery, more ammo . . . . . And body bags -- lots of body bags.

Excuse me -- not "body bag" -- Human Remains Pouch -- lots of them
