Agreed. No reason to occupy. We will need some boots on the grounds in important locations along the Hormuz Straights and very particular installations. This could be handled by Spec Ops and Airborne insertions.
We don't need to try and occupy Iran though. Too costly. Just kill the mullahs and destroy their capacity to respond millitarily.
OK. Can you name one war we've been in where the situation hasn't been fixed for the long term without some form of occupation?
Do you really think the good guys in Iran will magically take control without some serious U.S. muscle keeping them propped up until the bastard Jihadist current management is rounded up and dealt with?
Get real. We may have to go to war with Iran, but it will be the full enchilada, complete with boots on the ground. Hopefully this time we can count on some French and German boots this time - don't laugh, our men and women need all the help they can get.
