@BrettErickson28 They’re also needed for the escort operations. Can’t say “I control the strait” without troops there. Time to let the strait go and bring everyone home
@BrettErickson28 Can’t do the blockade that troops are needed for. Nor can they do those what has to be astronomically expensive air escorts through the southern route. (Not advocating for either, we should still leave)
@joekent16jan19 Can’t maintain the blockade without troops there. Without the blockade the sanctions lose their bite as China won’t abide. We should just disengage completely and let Iran figure it out with their neighbors. As an American I don’t care about Iran or the strait
