    An exercpt.

    A veteran and reservist who mentors younger officers told HuffPost her contacts are expressing a loss of faith to a new degree.


    “I’m hearing out of service members’ mouths the words, ’We do not want to die for Israel — we don’t want to be political pawns,” she said. Another reservist in touch with current troops separately reported hearing similar comments.

    “I’ve shared conscientious objector information six times in the past two weeks and I’ve been in the military almost 20 years — I’ve never had people reach out this way,” the first reservist continued.

    we’re going to be seeing some mystery fires and unexplained massive plumbing issues on navy ships causing them to have to leave the Middle East for “maintenance”

    It's funny how you MAGATs keep pretending that Iran didn't agree on dismantling their entire nuclear program before the war and even offered to give up their enriched uranium. Trumps own intelligence told him that the Iranian weren't pursuing a bomb. I guess when you're low iq and uneducated the only thing that works is fear mongering

    They had (or have) the ability to quickly build nuclear weapons due to the large amounts of enriched uranium that they have stockpiled. Additionally, Iran is rapidly advancing its ballistic missiles capability and we do not want to face the nightmare of their warheads raining down unto US cities. Of course, none of that matters to you.

    Again according to Trumps own Intel the Iranians agreed on giving up it's entire stock of enriched uranium. You're propaganda doesn't work here. Trump went to war with Iran for Israel

    Question for you.

    How do you see all of this ending.
    Will the Iranian people love us
    "For all we are doing over there"
    Or
    Will our relationship sink into status quo?

    I'm ex military and served in Desert Storm.
    I have no love for the Regime.
    But have no hate for the people.

    I think that Trump will end our participation in the conflict and abandon the Iranian people to the genocidal Iranian regime. Undoubtedly, the Iranian people will harbor great animosity toward Trump and rightfully so.

    Israelí tropos should Lead any tropos on the ground as the war is for them and they have proven to be so elite in Gaza and the West Bank.

    I will forever have the sound of that marine protestor's ("we do not want to fight Israel's war" ) arm breaking in that doorway seared into my brain.

    I'm sure when this war ends in glorious victory, Iran will let bygones be bygones.

    I don't know how the Iranians will ultimately end up feeling about the US after all this.

    What I do know is that it is unlikely this is a fight that the US can win anymore.

    Every day that the old guard stays in power in Iran, the more likely it is they remain in power.

    In order to win, we needed a swift, decisive victory. Victory being defined as total decapitation of Iranian leadership and the solid foundations laid for a democratic revolution.

    Neither of those things has happened. The longer it takes, the less likely either will come to pass.

    Now Iran simply waits for the US to pack it in because the economic pressure is unsustainable.

    The question is, after the US inevitably walks away, will Iran allow the markets to breathe again, or will things stay weird?

    Far Far too often we lack the passion for prolonged fighting
    Unless its on our own countinent . . our own country
    We are not trying to be there fighting . . .. . The U.S. is not an occupier
    We are a put in a puppet and let them worry about it type colonist

    Imagine being in the armed forces voluntarily and ending up with the dumbest boss who dodged the draft and belittles the sacrifices you make, He just decides one day to start a war with no plan in a place you give little ***** about and there is little you can do about it or risk going to jail. **** Trump and you dumbasses that support him.
