Our grandparents were willing to risk their lives to defend people and do the noble thing across the globe. We can’t even handle paying more at the gas pump. We have become a soft and selfish society. Not good.
Now they don’t and demand that only we act, all while taking advantage of our good will.
Stop supporting freeloaders and leeches.

When the war was fought it had nothing to do with freeing anybody from any “camps”.
It was about stopping Germany from “taking over the world”.
That is exactly my point. Somehow it got pushed into we were saving all these people from concentration camps. That was never the reason they gave in the 1940s. The public sentiment likely would have been very different. People didn’t think it was worth risking all these American lives at the time over something like that.
The irony here of course is that we Americans also put our own people into concentration camps during this time over fear of WW2.

Couldn't give a frick ab what Iran does in their own country. Have any long range missiles hit US soils? Not that I'm aware of. Nothing like pearl harbor could happen in this day and age, not with out our military knowing ab it before it happens. Hell they knew back then, but ignored the warnings
Holy ignorant hell. This mindset is the problem.

He, like many before him, would have seen his dreams die on the frozen grounds of Russia. I mean, that defeated Germany more than anything we did.

The reasons for going to war in Europe was not a lie. We know now that we did in fact know that Japan was going to attack and did nothing to stop them in order to get approval for war in both Europe and Asia.
As any good conservative, I am against wars in Foreign nations today, just as they were back then. Yes, it was conservatives who were keeping us out of WW2.

There is much more evidence that the "America should police the world" mindset is a much, much bigger problem.

I fail to see how this is the US’s concern, more folks than that are killed everyday in American cities. Not to mention around the world. Currently, there is a Christian genocide happening in Nigeria; however, the US is not providing direct military defense of these people.

So protestors, all of four of them when we were told millions of Iranians wanted to be liberated, are being executed by a government with no free speech laws and a history of putting protestors to death?
It’s funny to me that people on here are claiming others are Iran apologists when Trump said no more foreign wars and he’s started multiple and his followers are explaining them away as “necessary” and he’s doing a good job.
While the executions are horrible, the US knowingly bombed a girls’ school in Iran. The loss of life is appalling at this point and the US is looking to send in ground troops, so we will start to feel more than economic extortion soon if the war doesn’t de-escalate.
But yes, Iran shouldn’t execute people for protesting their government. And neither should ICE.

Good points. But The world is way more intertwined now than back then. Allowing the mullahs to run wild would cause problems for everyone esp with 1/3 of the world oil flowing off their coast.
This has been a problem for decades and every president since Reagan has kicked this can down the road. Just like our national debt, dealing with this was going to have to happen at some point.

President Donald Trump Saturday insisted that the United States military strikes "completely destroyed" three nuclear sites in Iran through last month's Operation Midnight Hammer
quote:
"All three nuclear sites in Iran were completely destroyed and/or OBLITERATED," Trump posted on his Truth Social page. "It would take years to bring them back into service and, if Iran wanted to do so, they would be much better off starting anew, in three different locations, prior to those sites being obliterated, should they decide to do so."
quote:
The network also reported that U.S. Central Command had briefed Trump on a larger plan for striking Iran that would have involved hitting three more nuclear sites, but the operation would have stretched out for several weeks.
It was rejected, however, because it did not match his foreign policy call against digging deeper into foreign conflicts and because it brought the possibilities of much higher casualties on both sides, according to NBC's sources.

And yet, if Iran would have even halfway lived up to the agreement they signed, none of this would've happened.

If we are being honest the UK is the one who created this whole mess so I wish they would be responsible for fixing it.

There are boots on the ground as we speak. My former SIL is a decorated retired Marine Corps Officer. He takes training contracts to train Africans. If the US supports these actions…..there a boots on the ground.
He was the leader of the last souls guarding the White House on 9-11.

They all had to do a cost benefit analysis and deemed it too costly and the possibility of a catastrophic blow to the global economy too risky. The fact that Iran could cause massive wide spread damage to oil production and shipping in the region has in essence meant they already have/had a weapon of mass destruction. So we've been in a state MAD with them for the past 45 years and been relying on limited air strikes, Israeli ops, and negotiations to try and contain the nuclear threat. Even now, despite all the bombing, the blockade, etc.the threat to the gulf states seems to still be in place. The massive arsenal of missiles and drones buried deep with the mountains of Iran have proven to be difficult to neutralize to the point that we can deem them no longer a significant threat.
Trump is trying to do what others did not think was possible.... eliminate the nuclear and conventional threat Iran poses to the region ....on the cheap. so to speak...and its proving not that easy. He is now trying to make a deal with the IRGC and not wanting to commit to total war due to the potential cost in blood and treasure. and if he does make a deal...he is also just kicking the can down the road.

No one demanded we do this, and no one is benefiting from it, except Israel.
