Show Notes
Three San Diego warships, led by the USS Boxer, are deploying to the Middle East with up to 2,500 Marines from Camp Pendleton. This move aims to bolster US forces in the ongoing conflict with Iran. The group includes parts of the eleventh Marine Expeditionary Unit, equipped for quick air and ground strikes, including beach landings. They carry helicopters and F-35B stealth fighters, ready for rapid action. Back home, military veterans have mixed views on the wars necessity and approach, sparking local debates about the risks involved. Pentagon leaders see a need for ground troops to support missile and drone operations, potentially securing Irans key oil export island in the Persian Gulf. The Boxer group might link up with the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier nearby, as tensions rise.
