So the authors idea of peace is US troops all around the world in perpetuity fighting those who “could” harm us. By his logic we should be in a hot war with China right now. After all, like the Germans pre WW2 they are vastly expanding their war machine.
The author specifically said otherwise. His thesis is not to send troops but to arm Iranians opposed to the Mullahs and the IRGC so that they can mop up after a hit on Fodow and the theocracy.
I'm all for that. We should be dropping them guns now. Israel has boots on the ground in Iran. They should know where to drop them. An America that arms the people against tyranny is to return us toward the founding principles of the American revolution.
