Of course not.

This is not a defensive war.

This was a war of choice.

And Millennials are a different breed of sheep from the Boomers.

If this turns into a protracted bombing campaign that results in hundreds of American casualties, I could see a future where James Talarico is the next Senator from Texas.

Nothing about this is like the Gulf War. Iran as a nation state has already hit back harder than Iraq did. Iran is an actual country, with 4x the population and 6x the land mass of Iraq. It's not just lines on a map drawn up by the British in the 1900s.

So if this fails to effect "regime change", what next?

we should probably give it at least 48 hours before declaring failure...

If we're going to war, we probably should think it out a little beyond 48 hours.

Not to worry. It is in fact a 96-hour plan.

Well, we will see. Venezuela may have given Donald a false sense of security. We will see what the follow up moves are. Not Donald's strength. Hope someone thought this out beyond the sound bites. What are the mission objectives? When do they know what success is or isn't? Not hearing much on that.

Not criticism, just discussion now that the initial stage is over.

No worries, I can take criticism. The objective was the collapse of the Iranian state. There's no sign of it happening.

Iran has prepared for this. I am not sure who advised Trump that we could end a war, in our favor, with Iran in a few days, but I don't think so. Of course the Israelis know best, but I wouldn't put it past them to bait Trump into starting this with the promise of a 3-4 day offensive, which they know will turn into a years long war.

Sad that 3 service members have died already. I imagine there are more as of now. Thd real goal of preventing terrorists from building nukes must be kept in kind. Better to bomb their facilities once a year, than invade with our troops.

If there’s one lesson the Iranian regime should have learned by now, it’s this: President @realDonaldTrump does not ignore those with American blood on their hands. pic.twitter.com/l0tU5Wuxog

They killed the senile 90 year old man who runs around in his pajamas! Iran is "free" now to install a pro-Israel puppet government.

What? Martyring him actually galvanized the population against us and into the arms of the Islamic government?...

Well... Plan B... surely dropping bombs on schools and killing children will turn around public sentiment and start the revolution!

It amazes me of the number of sudden experts when it comes to war fighting and military strategy. When I know none of you have ever planned and executed a Order of Battle war plan (or even know what that means). Much less took the oath, served and wore the uniform.

However, there are many on this board who have. Some have been wounded in battle, and other alums paid the supreme sacrifice.

This group can't even say "Thank You", or that the air raids were incredibly well planned and executed.

And to anyone that's actually supporting the Islamic State of Iran - you can take your civilian, woke ass home.

Signed: A proud Baylor alum and US Air Force Veteran.

---

There is also a large group of Americans who dont work for the Miltary Industrial Complex who are against this war because it will add another trillion to the debt and they won't receive a thing in return other than higher inflation and higher taxes.

Unless you're Vietnam era, you volunteered and were handsomely compensated for your military service fighting wars for Israel.

Veteran disability fraud is makes up nearly half of the VA budget.

Americans dont need to prostrate themselves in gratitude to you for choosing to participate in wars no one voted for or ask your permission to have an opinion on how their taxes are spent.

---

I did gladly volunteer, but was in no way "handsomely" compensated. Yes, I learned skills that have allowed me to have a very successful career after my service, However, many enlisted troops are barely living above the poverty line. You don't know what the hell you're talking about - so I would suggest you keep those types of thoughts to yourself.

---

What thoughts?

Veteran disability fraud?

Guys getting a hangnail and claiming 110% disability and receiving $11,000 a month for the rest of their lives?

Hey listen... if you cant beat them... join them..

If I could go back in time to operation Iraqi Freedom I would have enlisted too. Collecting 6 figures in tax free money every year would really help in this economy.

---

I've never claimed any VA benefit other than using a VA backed loan to help buy my first house. My brother has legit disabilities. He lost part of his hearing, he was wounded and after retiring has legit PTSD. He retired as an O-4/Major. Trust me - with his retirement and disabilities - he's not making 6 figures.

I do believe there are some fraudsters out there, but there are several Vets that are severely in need of care and support.

I'm a leading Veteran's rights advocate in the Metroplex. I would encourage you to look more positively on our Veterans than showing the disdain for them in your posts. It's because of their service that you have the freedom to post such trash about them. I agree with a lot you say, but this is a bad take and is disgusting.

---

Its not a personal attack on you brother... I am just venting some general frustrations.

As you can tell I'm really piss poor at self-censorship so I am really thankful to live in the only country on earth with true freedom of speech!
