We lost a few men. That IS combat. The Iranians have lost thousands and are STILL taunting us. We lose a very SMALL percentage and the communists want us to abandon the conflict. LOOK at the enemy within's tactics: Trying to discourage Americans from necessary conflicts in a needed war in which we must prevail.
The leftists here who violently protest ICE lost two "foot soldiers" and more injured and I DO NOT HEAR THE MEDIA, DEMOCRATS OR ANY OF THAT SIDE SECOND-GUESSING THE ACTIONS OF THOSE KILLED OR SUGGESTING THEY SHOULD STOP!!! They are TOTALLY committed to what they are doing WITH THE BACKING OF ENEMIES WITHIN (Democrats and the mainstream media).
It is time for Americans to step up and end this domestic rebellion once and for all by ANY means necessary. The same goes for the Iran conflict. The forces fighting us must surrender, OR, die...every single last one of them. THAT is exactly what they have in mind for us.

“Some of you may die, but it’s a sacrifice I am willing to make”. - Lord Farquaad
All the Iranian troops think about is 72 virgins. I assume that is what keeps them going.
If Americans need to rise up and do something about those against the war why aren’t you doing something? Waiting on someone else? Need a big crowd to back you up?
A couple points.
First, the losses to Iran would seem high to Americans. To Iran, they’re a drop in the bucket. Iran lost half a million soldiers and civilians in the eight-year Iran-Iraq War. The tolerance of suffering that the regime can stomach dwarfs our imagination.
The American public has a say in how long we’re committed to hostilities. What have we spent so far? Maybe a dozen lives and 5 to 10 billion dollars? If polls run bad for the administration, the Republican Senate and House will at some point curtail spending.
The way that polls run bad is (a) fuel prices stay high for weeks, (b) casualties mount, and (c) the Administration fails to provide a consistent and credible case.
As to (c), the public wants a clear rationale and a clear objective. As to the former, the Administration will at some point be questioned as to evidence of an imminent threat, especially since we assured last summer that Iran’s nuclear threat had been obliterated. As to the latter, do we want to degrade Iran’s military capacity or eliminate it? To eliminate it, don’t we need the regime change that Secretary Hegseth has ruled out?
Tying Iran to domestic ICE protests mirrors what the ayatollahs have threatened: that any protests by their citizens is equivalent to treason and warrants summary execution. Is that what you think would fly with Americans?
I have NO regrets about what I wrote. At all. Ever. Does that answer your question?
I think you have a very limited understanding of the world.
Iran is not Iraq despite their similar name. Iran is certainly an extremist Muslim country but they aren’t jihadis. They aren’t suicide bombers.
The average IQ in Iran is 104 (7th highest in the world). The average IQ in Iraq is 93
Despite what you have been told, this isn’t going to be easy. It will cost far more than anyone expects and will have far fewer benefits than anyone expects. Of course, I am referring to benefits for the US and her people. Israel will likely benefit significantly.
Apparently, the death of these boys is a cost we are willing to pay to benefit Israel.
But it is just writing, you don’t actually plan on taking the lead and getting to business then right?
I take steps where I am. I am prepared for any leftist attack at home AND at work. I shot a man a couple of years ago for trying to steal my vehicle. He went to jail, I did not. I do not say or write empty words.
How long and how much cash have we spent in Ukraine...which has turned into the equivalent of WW I trench warfare?
Shooting someone to protect your property I wholly agree with, however you were talking about people needing to get ri of the opposition which implies something entirely different than defending yourself or your property
You’re entitled to your thoughts. I merely asked if you think the American people would countenance executing protesters.
Ukraine has cost zero American lives and has bled the resources of a global adversary. Additionally, much of aid has been outdated arms and monies which has gone to the purchase of American arms. Seeing Russia bogged down in costly, static warfare is a plus.
You can oppose it, but I don’t see a parallel to current Iranian “excursion.”
Well, since you’re referring to the communists that call themselves democrats and rinos (the enemies within), they do intend to take all your property if they are allowed into power and they do mean to rule you even if they have to kill you to sate their lust for power. We’ve had numerous examples over the past 7 years internally - most not covered by the national propaganda outlets or spun as something else. So there are a lot of similarities to defending yourself or your property from criminal groups who use some of the same methods as indivdual criminals. Groups of criminals in power also have other methods to accomplish their ends - look what they did to Tina Peters, or the Trump family, or the Flyn family, for starters. Just my opinion.
Retired Vice Admiral Robert Harwood (ret) says it’s a good thing we are destroying Iran’s suicide drones because “one-way” drone attacks are what is coming to our shores next.
What is your defense against suicide drones?
I actually have a very good idea against drones and it will work. Someone from the military has to come and talk ro me in person.
I have worked for and with many leftist trash. I know exactly what to do with them.
So true.
