Per @BreakingNews: CNN: U.S. military urges American forces to maintain discipline and prudence if they encounter any Iranian military or security forces.

Also: CNN: Military commanders have been sent a highly classified message amid concerns of potential unrest surrounding Iran’s election.

What the hell is going on that our forces might encounter Iranian military? And BTW, American news media sucks on this story. Twitter has been a much better source of news.

The secret message: SURRENDER to Iranian forces should you encounter. We’re a Muslim Nation and we don’t fight other Muslim Nations....Barack Hussein Obama.

Why are we even discussing this (dis)information?

[Army Air Corps]

Ping.

Military discipline could include … fire at will. ;-)

highly classified message - now being reported by CNN.
Wonderful

I don’t know. This makes sense to me. It’s easy to see how Iran could force a military confrontation with US forces to unify the populace with a distraction. We should avoid playing into that if at all possible.

You are free to leave the thread if you don’t like it or think it should be discussed.

Inside Iraq or Afghanistan?

Its code for: if you defend yourselves, you’ll be court martialed.

This is getting stupid already, our leaders are turning us intto a joke.

Love your name....I get it!

Sorry - we = media

If they run into the Iranian Republican Guard, no doubt Miranda rights would be administered given they are listed as a foreign terrorist organization...........

[davetex]

I think you’re correct Harry. This is an old trick, a way to unite against an outsider to distract from internal turmoil.

[John W]

You ask the key question, where are we going to run into these guys?

[thecabal]

That’s the obvious assumption, since we have them sandwiched in. Twitter has been saying that all of the Persians stopped posting about an hour ago. There were reports of the police going door-to-door to shut down those with satellite internet. Hard to judge the veracity of these reports, but it doesn’t help when our news media is taking the weekend off.

[edcoil]

How about just kill them all.

We should expect the same level of civility as we get from them “encountering” our military...especially in AR...
