Any country that can land men on the moon (multiple times), build the atomic bomb, put a rover on Mars, build HUNDREDS of aircraft carriers during World War II, cure polio and invent the Internet can defeat a country like Iran.
"Whether you think you can, or you think you can't--you're right.” ― Henry Ford
You nailed it.
I have a hard time not yawning when I hear: “We cannot defeat - insert enemy here - with our military.”
I seem to remember they said the same thing about Iraq & it's huge conventional army blah blah.
If it wasn't for a sandstorm, Iraq might have fallen in days.
As it was, Thunder Run definitely shocked more than the Iraqis. - It stunned all of the so called experts on our militay who forecast 1,000s of causalities and months of street fighting ala, Stalingrad.
Still, that being said, the naysayers were right beck dishing out the same crap about Fallujah
Any country that can land men on the moon (multiple times), build the atomic bomb, put a rover on Mars, build HUNDREDS of aircraft carriers during World War II, cure polio and invent the Internet can defeat a country like Iran. How many thousands dead, how many trillions in spending, and how many years of nation building is Iran worth?
