‘History repeats itself’ wasn’t supposed to be advice; plus there’s supposed to be more than just 20 years in-between.

I thought libs were making the claim that we all learned from the Iraq war? Heck, Iraq and Iran are nearly the same word but with one letter difference!

    9/11 didn’t just happen and Americans aren’t gonna be signing up for the military like.they were then. They still gotta do an entire ear and occupy and stuff. They can’t hand Iran over to Israel and go home after Mission Accomplished. Theyre just not gonna have enough guys to even repeat the mistakes of the previous wars let alone do a better job and those wars lasted 20 fucking years, people in the military now remember them

      The US military is having a recruitment crisis even in “peace” time, good luck getting anyone to sign up to go get hit by mortar attacks in Iran for ya
