“May I suggest you put your flame suit on.”
Flame away. I’m a Vietnam vet. I know what it looks like when the government loses the will to fight.
No flames, you are correct. I'm a Vietnam ERA vet, and I saw it too.
Although, I think you're wrong regarding will (or provocation). We have technically been at war with Persia since 1230 hrs Zulu, 4 November 1979. The mullahs have been killing us since then.
Time to serve a cold dish of revenge, and the Iranian nuclear genie will give the current admin the cojones. It is long past time to open a giant size can of whoop a$$ on Persia.

You got that right. I, along with you and thousands of us, saw what happens when a government turns its back on someone they support, pull financial support out, pull the troops out. Total loss. No hope to win. Overrun by communist forces. Only here, Iraq will be over run by Islamic terrorists and Iran. Iraq will become just another state within greater Terrorist Iran. Stupid Americans are too worried about ordering their pizza to watch stupid Caveman shows and THE BIG GAME, to worry about their futures. Too worried about real world. Want those free hand outs, free medical care. Like Rush was reporting today, the kid that the Dims used to respond to Bush's Saturday radio address. The kid's family lives in a $400k house, bought $160k in properties, father self employed, mother had no insurance at home, yet when kids were injured in auto accident, family had no private insurance to cover them. Family chose buying big house and property over medical coverage. Yet, Dims think this family who appears to be well off, are perfect example of "the poor children" without medical coverage. The socialization of Amerika has begun. With the election of Hillary, and at this point, seeing how America is acting, like a spoiled 5 year old, Hillary will win the election. The RINOs, republican party, religious right, conservatives, libertarians, etc., are so splintered, that our voting will be all over the place and she will win. The Marxists hold on to Congress, and America is done. Hell, I might move to Canada. It would not be as bad as it is going to become here. But, I will stay. I will fight. I will stay armed. Hillary wants my gun, the bitch can personally come and ask for it. I will gladly give it to her. From my cold dead hand.
