How many of these “engagements” were the right call looking back on all of it and what was the final price tag?

Unless your objective is to take Bandar Abbas this would be a bad idea. We are not talking flat land here other than near the Iraqi border and Iraq is probably not too keen in being drug into this wholesale.

If you volunteer for military service, what exactly are you training for, getting paid for, accruing retirement benefits etc if not to fight the wars of the U.S. govt?
To the military folks and those yelling “NO MORE ME WARS”, what wars exactly did you sign up to fight in? The last time US territory was attacked by another nation state was 12/7/1941 at Pearl Harbor, HI.
So I guess I am confused as to what exactly these folks thought they were signing up for?
From Korean thru Present Day, the U.S. military has been sent into harm’s way to places that have not directly attacked the U.S. homeland.
If you sign up and know this, why would you be angry about fighting in one of these conflicts?
Are these folks suggesting that those that sign up should just be paid, fed, and housed to train and for the military to be just another social program for the masses?
TL;DR
We pay the goy their salary, they shouldn’t be upset when they are sent to die for Israel

Seriously, what choice do we have now that we’ve gone in and done what we’ve done?
We could simply not put a single US soldier in Iran.

war. We have to see it through at this point and that means finding the uranium and installing a new government. That’s the only conclusion that is acceptable at this point.
So you’d get involved there for years if not decades just because you’re unwilling to admit it was a short sighted action to begin with?

50k soldiers were already there.
We've been involved for decades.
You guys want us to continue. I want Trump to end them.
This new batch is literally coming from Japan. Another place we've been involved in for decades.
Japan is not a threat, but I haven't heard a single one of you say to bring our boys home. It's almost as if you are all hypocrites.

Comparing troops garrisoned at US bases to troops clearly being surged into the region because it’s anticipated we might use them in this little foray is stupid.

Guess what? Bombing their nuclear facilities and military is not going to end Iran, their regime, or our involvement in the region.

The official United States Forces Japan (USFJ) website describes approximately 60,000 military personnel (across Army, Marine Corps, Navy, Air Force, and Space Force), though this may include some broader or rotational elements.
So more in Japan than the ME.
And I'm sorry but I trust the guys in the military over you on a message board. Have you even been to Iran?
And our involvement in the region wasn't going to stop anyway. You want us to continue.
Say it with me, hypocrite.

How is it remotely relevant to this conversation?
I don’t have a problem with forward deployments.
I have an issue using troops against Iran.

But not Japan?
Or Germany?
Or Korea?
And now you are waffling.
It's pretty simple. We had 50k soldiers in the ME already and gave been involved there for decades. This was already happening. I brought up Japan because this thread is about soldiers already deployed being repositioned.

Forward deployments. They are permanently based there. They live there. Their families live there. It is NOT the same thing as an MEU deployment.

No, bringing additional troops to possibly use in this current ongoing conflict was not already happening.
