Florida Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R) on Sunday said Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-S.C.) was acting as if U.S. soldiers were “expendable cattle” following his comments about the possibility of losing servicemembers in battle.
“I am deeply upset at the lack of respect for life Senator Lindsey Graham is displaying when talking about our troops. He is acting as if they are expendable cattle. This is unacceptable and dark. There were over 26,000 American casualties at Iwo Jima,” Luna wrote in a post on the social platform X, with a clip of Graham’s remarks on Fox News’s “Fox News Sunday.”
During the interview, the South Carolina senator reiterated his support for the U.S. taking Kharg Island, which is about 16 miles from Iran’s coast and serves as a major hub for oil exports.
“This has been an amazing military operation. God bless the fallen. But it’s a difference when we talk about troops on the ground. I trust the Marines … ,” Graham told host Shannon Bream.
“I trust DOD [Department of Defense]. We got two Marine expeditionary units sailing to this island. We did Iwo Jima. We can do this,” he added.
The Battle of Iwo Jima is considered one of the bloodiest battles in Marine Corps history.

Linda is an asshole. We had nearly 10000 killed and wounded and the Japanese lost over 20,000. Drop Linda in Tehran with a wrist rocket, see how long the fag lasts. I knew a man, a marine mortor man that survived that battle. He also outlasted three wives. That’s a helleva record, if you ask me. One of the best men I’ve ever known. Linda is a grifting useless bitch. IMO
Linda is just the worst of the worst... a maniacal, wild-eyed, warmongering, bought-and-paid-for shill chickenhawk (yes, I know that he was JAG officer... BFD). To all this site’s war cheerleaders, I would ask you to seriously consider the following: If the tactics and strategies that you find yourself advocating are pretty much identical to those that Linds Graham is advocating, then maybe you need to step back, take a deep breath and think long and hard about whether you want to be in league with Linds, an insane, pathetic excuse for a human being.
What are raving about? You did not want USA and Israel to TCB in Iran. Now that we are there we will do what needs to be done.
What is this WE? YOU and Linda can do what needs to be done. Grab a rifle and head over to Kharg Island, tough guy.
I think(and I don’t know💩) boots on the beach is a bit premature. The thought projecting, lays the stress down. Patience may be the best avenue. The regime is the enemy and we want Joe plumber on our side. I trust Trump but getting in a hurry in a war gets people killed. Maximum kill on the regime and minimum on the folks who have lived through this 💩 for 47 years is my thought. I can live on high gas prices and drive less to bring this effort home if it last to Christmas. I doubt it does, but you can’t bake a cake without breaking a couple of eggs. Just saying.
You should form a clown brigade to de-mine the Hormuz. I will support you on this ya dufus. Your hysterical ravings about “Linda” accomplish nothing here.
Cowardice isn’t tragedy; it’s betrayal. And betrayal, my trembling friend, always ends with the traitor’s head on a pike—whether the blade is Muslim, Chinese, Russian, or just the cold edge of history laughing at invertebrate fools who think the barbarians will not come for thee . Get right with your ancestors, or get out of the way. The fight’s already started. You’re either in it, or you’re fertilizer.
I’d love to get Mariner’s take on this buffoon
Braveheart would disown this hoser.
I’m so sick of having people young enough to be my grandchildren tell me the facts of life. You better wake up quick because you’re blowing your inheritance.
And yet the fact remains he has Trump's ear and Trump actually listens to the closeted sociopath.
All the resident 78 year old war hawks on here are changing their mobility scooters right now preparing to lead the Charge of Kharg Island.
I knew it would be just a matter of time before people would start with the warmed over John McCain shibboleths.
Sure, let’s drag McCain’s corpse into this. But let’s be clear, the shibboleths you’re sneering at aren’t his. They’re the ones carved into the bedrock of what used to be called moral clarity .
“I think(and I don’t know💩) boots on the beach is a bit premature.”
Agree. Trump is being too careful not wanting to harm/kill the Iranian citizens. If there’s a choice between dead Iranians and dead American soldiers, this should be easy.
Duplicate Fat Man and Little Boy. Bomb the hell out of the place. It would be sad to lose much of the ancient Persian artifacts, architecture, etc., but it would be sadder to have even one of our young people die in that place.
If Miss Lindsey wants to go there himself, have at it.
I don’t understand why Trump is even considering putting our soldiers in harm’s way for this.
The comment Lindsey Graham made was completely harmless.
“To all this site’s war cheerleaders, I would ask you to seriously consider the following: If the tactics and strategies that you find yourself advocating are pretty much identical to those that Linds Graham is advocating, then maybe you need to step back, take a deep breath and think long and hard about whether you want to be in league with Linds, an insane, pathetic excuse for a human being.”
Well said. And I would add, to all Freepers in South Carolina, I believe the primary for Grahamnesty’s seat will roll around on June 9. Do us all a favor and take out the trash. At long last.
Speaking of “ cattle “, please South Carolina. Put this blood-thirsty, Pentagon stooge Limpsey Graham out to pasture.
Vote for Mr. Lynch in the primary.
