Is there any doubt that if we did launch an all-out invasion of Iran, which would likely require a massive buildup of US ground forces not seen since at least the Vietnam War if not WW2, that many of these blowhard superpatriot MAGA types would suddenly develop bone spurs and all sorts of other ailments that would disqualify them from having to go and fight?

Buncha "Fortunate Sons."
 
For our MAGA posters who kept insisting a few days ago that surely Trump had a plan that wouldn't involve giving permanent control of the Strait of Hormuz to Iran, and that this war was well-thought-out:

Why is this a surprise? We have never before had such incompetent clowns in charge of our military. Our SecDef is a TV host more concerned with projecting an image of virile manhood than understanding military strategy based on international realities and the history of how it got this way.

“Department of War” “warfighters” Really?

Fucking clowns.

“Epic Fury” sounds like an Ed Hardy t-shirt came to life, drank a Red Bull, did a few lines of cocaine, and was then asked what name to give to our next military operation.

Why is the US responsible for controlling Iran? I’m all for going in w our allies if they agree there’s a problem but us attacking them on our own (even w Israel) doesn’t seem like a good idea. Do the rest of our allies think Iran is about to have and use a nuclear weapon?

And I did a search about how many Americans have died over the last 50 years due to Iran. It estimated over a 1000. That’s certainly bad but I don’t know that it constitutes an emergency right now.

1. I guess we are responsible for iran because nobody else in the world has ever stepped up. The world (including iran's allies) doesn't want to see iran with nukes. However, everyone has sat by and done nothing except for israel.

2. As bad as things are right now, it would be worse if israel had gone alone. And israel was determined to strike when they knew they could get their leadership in one place. So gas prices were going up regardless if we went or not. The only way to keep them down would have been to persuade israel not to attack.

3. Because iran is sincere in their motto of death to the great satan. Have to take them at their word.

4. I don't know what intelligence our allies have on iran's nuke program. They sure didn't know iran had a BM that would reach western europe. Of course neither did we until iran fired it.

I’ll turn this around to you: what the president of the United States says matters. Extreme rhetoric is not helpful. This is not negotiating gold plating a bathroom. This is global politics. Why must MAGA continually excuse this dangerous rhetoric as just a negotiation tactic? Trump’s rhetoric not only fuels hatred and diplomatic unease, it also gives excuse to hate in our society. But we are just supposed to ignore it? No. In fact he needs to be blasted for it more. It is awful. It should be continually called out and criticized.

don't disagree with you. It does matter. However, we have never had a potus anything like trump. I think the world knows his bluster has to be taken with a grain of salt. trump isn't liked by many world leaders but they also don't have tds like this board does so yes, it is bad but its actually worse here than abroad. I don't excuse his rhetoric. I condemn a great deal of what he says. But what can anyone do at this point other than understand it. He isn't going to change who he is at 80 years old. He will be gone in 3 years and i think the rest of the world recognizes it and can adapt for the short period of time.
