Is thus is a Chevy Chase movie then yes. But it is really an ensemble cast.

I’d go with Funny Farm.

I have a Tag Formula 1 Chrono. It’s nice and wasn’t too expensive. I’ll be purchasing a Tudor Pelagos FXD next. Little more pricey but I like wearing watches on straps.

Make sure the cover is red, white, and blue. Throw a couple of guns on there for shits and giggles.

Jocko’s got a book coming out about a boy who befriends his SEAL neighbor that basically is this plot called Way of the Warrior Kid. Think a movie is in the works and Pratt is going to play the neighbor.

I was in the checkout line and the lady in front of me had a toddler horse playing. Mama kept telling him “stop playing.” After the third time he turned around and said “frick yo…” The “u” never made it out of his mouth. Mama cocked her had like she was swinging Mjolnir and smacked him across the face. She told him “Don’t you ever say that to me again.”

Little guy didn’t even cry. But he quit playing and stood completely still. I was impressed.

I thought this was verboten in the armor corps?

I think it’s hard for people to understand how big Michael was. I mean Eddie Van Halen, and the height of Van Halen, did an uncredited unpaid guitar solo on Beat It because Michael asked.

Michael did the backup vocals on Do The Bartman and only wanted a role in an episode on the show as payment.

It’s peak pop culture.

The most egregious I was thinking of are Fassbender and Mcavoy. But they werent professor X and magneto yet.

Didn’t the US Women’s National Team get beat by a U-16 boys team a couple of years ago?

My only "thing" (it's certainly not a complaint or a nitpick at all so I don't know what else to call it) is the recognizable actors. I know they are portraying real men so they had to get someone to do it.

With very few exceptions, they were nobodies when this was made. You’re watching it 25 years late.

Pay attention to Winters. He is one of the best examples of leadership you’ll ever see.

If we starve out a nation that has nuclear capability, then what do they have to lose by striking?

Existence.

The display of military force in Venezuela and Iran isn’t without impressive metrics. Remember Venezuela had an aerial defense network supposedly specifically designed to prevent US 5th generation air assets from getting in and we did so in less than an hour. Iran reminded the world that our Navy can still do work, both striking and removing Irans ability to make war and blockading one of the busiest waterways in the world.

How is China going to project force in Iran conventionally? With their one aircraft carrier? Overfly Russia or India? How do they intend to deal with advanced US assets in the theater?

The answer is they can’t. And a nuclear option doesn’t help. Say you nuke the US blockade fleet. You just rendered the waterways impassible for the foreseeable future. So that doesn’t give you oil. And the clock is ticking on your reserves. Meanwhile the US can give battle anywhere at the time of our choosing, even if we lost the fleet in the gulf. That’s assuming you could successfully execute that without us intercepting the missile.

Does China appeal to Russia at that point? Where does Moscow want to end up? We’ve seen their lack of success in Ukraine. The Russians aren’t fools.

If yall have never read Red Storm Rising, you should. Replace China with Russia and you have the exact scenario the OP is proposing. Book does a great job of all the reasons why nukes aren’t an option by a modern superpower. Might be time for a reread myself.
