This being said, don't be surprised if we see boots on the ground from our *volunteer* forces after the midterms, regardless the electoral outcome.
My two sons are adults, but I have a 15YO grandson that will not be sacrificed for another endless war in the Middle East. Although I voted for Trump and largely support his actions, he needs to step away from his bellicosity. He apparently has no filter in the White House. I get it, many Freepers think it’s great when Trump rages on. That works well in the pugilistic nature of New York politics, but it’s wearying for us in flyover country.
Ronald Reagan essentially ended the Cold War without firing a shot, and had to deal with Democrat majorities most of the time. The prospect of a lame duck Trump during the last two years of his presidency doesn’t appeal to me, except for the massive gridlock that will occur.
Alex Jones may be as crazy as a shithouse rat, but I think he’s on to something. The U.S. Army and Marine Corps barely occupied Iraq. Trump can’t oust Iran’s mullahs unless he sends in ground troops. Iran has about triple the land area and population of Iraq. Raising an army big enough to conquer and occupy Iran would require conscription. I hope Trump switches his party affiliation to Democrat if he’s piss ignorant enough to even think about asking Congress to reimpose the draft!
