Surely this is related to the Iran worries at the moment. Hopefully this calms down before all-out war erupts.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. military said on Tuesday that there were possible imminent threats to U.S. troops in Iraq, who were now at a high level of alert, and underscored concerns about Iranian-backed forces in the region.
“(The U.S. mission) is now at a high level of alert as we continue to closely monitor credible and possibly imminent threats to U.S. forces in Iraq,” said Navy Captain Bill Urban, a spokesman at the U.S. military’s Central Command, as he sought to clarify contradictory remarks by a British commander earlier on Tuesday.

So let's send more Americans to die. I mean sure for the first 18 years it didn't work, but it'll work now.

We don't have to "slaughter" Iran
Simply negate it by destroying their military aperatus, their economy, and potentially their leadership. All can be accomplished without one boot on the ground.
Slap their asses like Reagan did to gaddafi and we won't hear a peep from them for another thirty years.

If we get involved in another conflict in the Middle East, trump is toast
He was elected in part because a lot of people viewed him as an end to interventionism and the MIC

Why the frick do we even need to be over there you dumb fricks? Do yall sheep really think the govt gives a frick about bringing the middle east democracy? There is no reason other than oil to be over there and quiet frankly we don't need their dirty black liquid. So how about we stay the frick out of the middle east and quit putting US soldiers' lives at risk for not bullshite reason. Let the middle east deal with their own shite. And if you really think the US is afraid of some shite countries in the middle of a desert then you really are a dumb frick.

Be careful about quoting the Army/Navy/Air Force/Marine Times.
That paper is Gannett Group filth and is about as anti-military as they come. They are NOT sourced by DoD nor are they attributable to them.
