Lady G: ‘We Did Iwo Jima, We Can Do This!’

Monday, March 23, 2026

Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC), a longtime hawk on Iran, told Fox News's Shannon Bream Sunday that the U.S. should seize control of Kharg Island, which has been described as "the point of departure for approximately 90 percent of Iran's oil exports." Earlier this month, President Donald Trump bragged about obliterating "every military target in Iran's crown jewel, Kharg Island." "I trust the Marines, not that guy," Graham said of The Atlantic writer. "I trust DOD. We've got two marine expeditionary area units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima, we can do this. The Marines, my money's always on the Marines."

Lindsey Graham didn't do sheet on Iwo.
But over the course of about 5 weeks, about 7,000 Marines and 20,000 Japanese troops died.
Eff off, Lindsey, you pencil-pushing little ------.

From what I understand, Iwo Jima was strategically not necessary and may have been a blunder of a choice with needless carnage.

"In his report to the secretary of the Navy, Adm. King maintained that Iwo Jima was the only island in the Bonins that "lends itself to the construction of airfields."
In the official Marine Corps history, Whitman S. Bartley carefully sidestepped this issue by stating that Iwo Jima "was the only island that could support a large number of fighter aircraft."
These statements failed to acknowledge that Iwo Jima was not the only island in the Bonins that provided landing facilities.
Both Chichi Jima and Haha Jima had sizable airfields already built " a fact that has not received enough historical scrutiny."

Nominating Lindsey to lead a LRRP composed entirely of Capon Caucus blowhards onto Kharg.

I volunteer Lady G to lead the assault.

This war is hugely unpopular now.

Wait until the plane loads of dead soldiers start return for operation trumpstein coverup.

We did Iwo Jima, we can do this.

Faux chest thumping from a tool that's never served anyone but himself a day of his life.

"We."

GFY Lindsey.

And when those few thousand marines take huge casualties and a significant number are captured because Iran has hundreds of thousands of troops 15 to 20 miles away...

Sit this one out, Lindsey. There's no "we" about it.

Even other MAGA Repubs think his comments are vile.

Probably because Iwo Jima took 100K+ US service members and resulted in about 30K casualties.

Nothing to that pathetic windbag who is only this close to power because he's a sniveling piece of s*&^ who will do anything to ingratiate himself to a man like Trump.

I suspect that Lady G is a "bottom".
