We now have troops, air bases, and much more important, logistics to wage a devastating war on Iran.

I'm glad you pointed that out because I'm more of a checker-player than chess, and this had not even occurred to me. Duh. Good thing I'm not in charge. My answer to everything since 9/11 has been "Nuke 'em. Next!"

Hey, its cool.

Here is something to always remember whenever the drums of war beat.

Amateur soldiers talk tactics, professionals talk logistics.

How do we get men and material there?
How do we supply them, how do we feed them, how do we provide fire support, how do we control the sky, how do we evac the wounded, how do we etc, etc, etc.

Once that nut is cracked, then the tactics can be worked out.
That is something that the Japs never learned in WW11.
