Was David Robinson too tall for the Navy? Or are waivers available?

You're falling for propaganda being spread by your internet heroes.
So offering facts to counter your TDS propaganda is falling for propaganda?

Do better … wow you’ve totally lost your mind

Have you seen how tall Baron is? He’s pretty damn tall and I think if you’re over 6 foot eight you’re too tall for the military.
Waivers ARE available.

Oil prices plunge after Iran says Strait of Hormuz open for commercial shipping traffic
Trump says naval blockade on Iran will remain 'in full force' until the 'transaction with Iran is 100% complete'

Meanwhile the S&P 500 has soared to an ALL TIME HIGH.
Nasdaq has soared to an ALL TIME High.
Dow not too far off.

Winning.

The USA should keep their foot right on Iran’s neck until there is total regime change….

Why?

Someday, some airhead like Klambellita Harris or Gavin Newsom will be president and they will let the spoiled rotten regime out of their room to early

Dude you are so far astray from what’s happening. Trump is has reopened a straight that was already open, is declaring Hormuz now the Strait of Iran, and basically achieved what Obama already had.

But Obama didn’t have to end his 11th war in a year to get there. So Trump has him there. Winning!!!

Wow. You need to purge your sources and reboot

There is a big difference when the United States is in control of the straits instead of Iran… Iran is on their lying knees

people like you, who spin false narratives against the United States of America are the biggest challenge. We’ve beat Irans overhyped military easily but the political battle is more challenging. It certainly shaping up not to be another forever war and fewer causalities than past conflicts

Obama just kicked the can down the road. Iran terrorized how many U.S. Presidents?

I’m sorry, what? Iran just took back over the strait and has it currently restricted. This widely reported. Technically the straits are international waters and should be “controlled” by no one. Which they were before we attacked with Israel. Read some other news, man. :rofl:

Was the strait open under Obama? Yup. Did Trump just try to renegotiate us right back to where we were under Obama while paying Iran $19,500,000 more? You bet. :rofl:

You’re very confused

Iran can cause short term chaos in the straits, but they have taken over nothing. Basically your weak point means Iran hasn’t fully surrendered yet.

The blockade is still implemented in full force

Also, Iran full well knows that the US is up against the clock meaning Trump is not gonna let these shenanigans go on forever

Irans military has been totally embarrassed on the global stage…… remember how fearful everybody was over them, including our United States presidents prior to Trump….

the Iranians realize that if they hit a few navy ships and I think they could if they wanted to, even these crazy bastards know a short term victory like that would mean they’re gonna get hit very hard and it’s probably not worth it
However, that remains to be seen because some of these hardliners might say …..we’re going down anyway might as well try to sink a few navy ships

Are restraints open right now? Nope. Who has made them impassable under threat? Iran. Were they open prior to our attack? Yep. Were they open when Trump took office in 2016? Yep. Is he currently negotiating us back to what Obama had given him plus willing to pay Iran more now? Yes. Did Trump just yesterday declare it The Strait of Iran? Yes.

Under Obama’s enabling the spoiled rotten stepchild of the Middle East, Iran has a nuclear weapon and they continue to threaten and terrorize anyone within their expanding reach

The way Trump sees it is, Iran should never have a nuclear weapon.

Your grandchildren will be much better off in a world where Iran doesn’t have a nuclear weapon

Iranian people will be better off in a world where they are not terrorized by this brutal regime

Which brutal regime? The Iranian people are being terrorized by 2 brutal regimes. One even threatened to annilate their civilization.

"And when you see soldiers or others, but soldiers generally walking around with no legs, with no arms or face that's been smashed, that was Soleimani, it was Iran that did that," Trump said. "So we have a much different view on it than other presidents. They've gotten away with murder for 47 years. They're not getting away with it anymore."

Trump has punished the American hating bad boys of the Middle East severely …. you haven’t been paying attention for the last month and a half have you

Trump has given the Iranian people an opportunity that no other president even dared too

That doesn't explain the alleged difference between what trump is currently negotiating and what Obama already negotiated.

Is trump negotiating a deal which would stop Iran from producing a nuclear weapon in exchange for Iranian assets being unfrozen? If he is, how is it different then what Obama negotiated?a Be specific.

So Obama did practically the same thing without spending 10’s of millions, costing American lives and hardware, and jeopardizing the world wide economy.
