Anti-war former Army Ranger Greg Stoker breaks down the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group that's been deployed continuously since November 2024, over 260 days at "to support this stupid operation against Iran." Greg discusses the report that a sailor threw himself overboard and the horrible conditions that would make someone do that. He also reacts to Pete Hegseth's jungle-warfare photo-ops in Panama and why the Iran defeat is going to trigger a new South America intervention push.
