    I already did, 4 tours in Iraq and have had many Iranian rockets hit the bases I was on. I retired from the Army 2 years ago, or I would gladly be going. It’s out of my hands, lol.

    What strategy will override their culture and their fanatical religious beliefs?

    We've done this time and time again it's literally never worked so is it 8th times the charm?

    That might work I suppose but will the rest of the globe allow that?

    Anything short of that never works because of their deep religious culture...

    I think that there will be over 750,000 dead before the shooting stops. Any takers?

    Given Pompeo’s inconsistent & conflicting statements justifying general Soleimani’s assassination & reports of military generals being in shock that the president chose this course of action—yeah, id say there’s no clear strategy.

    No, Trump will scare them back to being quiet for a bit. I'd hope he ends it this time, easy to do without 1 boot on the ground.

    The troops wouldn't be targets if they weren't there.

    In Iran they stampeded shot their wad and are now all peeing in their pants waiting to see what we will do.

    Meanwhile, President Trump had a short meeting in the WH situation room with Pompeo, Milley and a couple others. Due to a snow storm in DC about everyone at the Pentagon left early for the day. Whatever damage Iran did in Iraq, they will be paying for directly or indirectly but not tonight. :yawn:

    If our cities get hit it might be a good thing because then we can rebuilt them and get rid of the old junk.

    Iran is perfectly capable of doing that for quite some time, why haven't they?

    Where do you think this goes now? I'm sure the fanatical Iranians will just let bygones be bygones
