The perception is they are already guilty and they gearing up for a war with us if they havent expected one with the Peshmerga.
We don't have the immediate capacity to do it short of a draft and further IRR call-ups and those IRR'ers are not exactly the ones you want in line units or even in the rear.
Stay safe!
If you are where I think you are, then first of all, thank you. I am not advocating sending you guys off to Iran. I think we need to watch the mad-man Presidents every nuanced move. He is an Islamic kook-nut who believes HE is going to usher in the Islamic messiah. I think he will be bringing it on. Our Air Force and Navy will be handling the situation in the event, I believe. Be well "over there"....
Second, if the President does what I think he'll do, we will see a massive air campaign. Any Iranians who try to come in after you guys will be tank-plinked straight to Hell.
Trust me, none of us are calling for war lightly. This letter appears to be a declaration of a new phase of jihad, declared by an unstable man with nukes. We cannot afford to take it lightly for any reason, not even to save you brave men and women from making more sacrifices.
