More of them will die than us, that is true. Do you think we will win the war?

War has no winners, only different levels of tragedy.

On hand? Maybe.

Or the drones are being launched from Iraq, to be handed off to the F15E Weapons officers.

Yeah but they need to hit the launchers before they move; drone would be too slow most likely.

This is not going to be a war. This is an "incident".

It's a good chance to test out our equipment. :)

Ever hear of an EA-6B?

Those were retired last year, I thought.

No, trust me on this one. Drones are even better at this than manned aircraft, for a variety of reasons.

So far. Reports are 12 missiles launched from Iran.
And as we know countries do stumble into war. Even when both are looking for an off ramp
 
re: [W:104]Iran state TV: Tehran fires at Iraqi base housing US troops

200 Iranians injured and 50 killed (trampled to death) in protests against the Pig Trump killing one nut case. Smart people.
 
re: [W:104]Iran state TV: Tehran fires at Iraqi base housing US troops

Report indicates 20 US soldiers have been killed, 60 wounded.

The last war we won was Desert Storm. Everything since has just dragged on forever.

Saddam went down in 2 weeks. Iran is a state, they're not moving around like the Mahujadeen. Iran has fixed fortifications, and cities.

Iran can't be that crazy. Things like hydro-electric damns and nuclear power plants are expensive to replace. Trump isn't Obama he's not going to send them pallets of cash.

What a stupid thing to say.

Yeah, but the SS-22-N is a bugger to stop, by anyone's standards. And Iran has bought a LOT of them.

If Iran wants a war, I have no doubt we can give them one.

Iranians don't share Iraqi incompetence. This is going to be more like Serbia in 1999.

Big deal. We never did get the place under control.

In any case, we are almost definitely not going to occupy. This is going to be a rochambeau contest.

There's a big difference between fighting terrorist cells, and a country with a fixed capitol city. They can't run and hide.

Well, yeah. There is no question as to how this is going to end.

We don't care about getting Iran under control, that's their problem. We are there to cause massive damage so they get a clue.

Thing is, this attack is so dumb. They have to know that American troops are at maximum alert, hunkered down and prepared.

Of course, carpet bomb Tehran
That would be absolutely brilliant
 
re: [W:104]Iran state TV: Tehran fires at Iraqi base housing US troops

And where will these escalations end?

Where is the proof that the initial attack was valid, putting American lives at risk?

I want to see proof that The Donald is not trading American lives in an attempt to win an election.
