  • No heroes in Iran

    Trump spoke too soon in encouraging the unarmed Iranian populace to rise up and we weren’t in place to help. The guns we sent were not delivered by the Kurds. Then the regime killed an estimated 40,000 of the brave. In spite of that, there were still people telling us where the bad Iranians were so we could target them, which we did. So stop acting like they’re a bunch of cowards.
