re: Questions on our military readiness and long term effects from this Iran failure

why didn’t we continue to bomb, take Kharg Island, anything to add pressure? Or just go take the uranium ourselves using special forces like we did extracting Maduro?

hmmm - you don't 'take uranium' that has been buried under a mountain of rubble like you do a single man in a room.

'continuing to bomb' would necessarily make living conditions worse for the majority of the population who are on our side.

'boots on the ground' would produce body bags with dead American soldiers which would quickly be repugnant to a majority of American families.

This forcing the IRGC to surrender is the proper way - but it takes a real man with an undeniable thirst to protect an American future in which he will not even live to see come to full fruition.

We are lucky as a nation to have such a man step forth and suffer the outrageous attacks from the democrat weasels.

Our population has zero appetite for war short of being attacked again (this isn’t a bad thing)

Literally how it should be.

Some people on this board would have called George Washington and the founding fathers “pussies” for not going to war with the French a few years after the Revolutionary War

It was Irans only card to play and we apparently couldn’t open it and keep it safely opened for regular maritime traffic

Sure we could have.

A lot more Iranians would've died for that to happen though.

The op is an idiot we wiped the floor with Iran the boogeyman of the Middle East without a boot touching the ground. We could have killed every man woman and child in the entire country if we wanted to with barely any loss of life or hardware on our part. And you say we lack readiness?
