Exactly. Which is why you see/saw them hovering around their troops all the time. Both came from that background; both understand the concept of use of force.

We know the likely hood of war soon is apparent, short of God intervening, before Iran's nukes go Hot. The tension throughout the ME is higher than I have seen for years...and it's right on the edge of someone doing something to take that edge off. The issue will be the question of what responses will occur thereafter, and from whom. Either or the situation escalates, Iran cannot continue too much longer under the pressures from within and without...I would not be surprised if Lebanon again becomes the diversion or some other nation there. Time will tell and that's running shorter by the hour.
