Because leftists hate you and your country. They love communism and Starbucks.
If this is what it takes to get the losers in Congress to act then so be it.
Only progs and democrats are incels.
All the same mouth breather progs jumped in this thread. It’s like the Batman beacon, post fraud and these losers pile on here to discredit whomever. Reality is their behavior shows just how scared they truly are.
Then why post? Obviously something is bothering you here.
Quite a few in mine, 4 Yankees and 2 Confederate.
Right — so we’re finally there.

You intentionally narrowed the definition to conventional combat forces because you wanted to exclude other forms of U.S. involvement on the ground and shape the scope of the discussion.

That was my point from the beginning.

You can keep repeating “not an argument” if you want, but that’s just semantics at this point. The substance is that you deliberately constructed the question around conventional ground combat troops.
That’s exactly my point.

You deliberately defined “boots on the ground” to exclude other forms of U.S. personnel on the ground because you wanted the thread focused on conventional combat forces.

That is framing. You’re not neutrally asking whether the U.S. should put personnel into Iran; you’re defining the term so the question becomes whether people support conventional ground combat forces in Iran.

You can explain why you chose that framing, but you can’t simultaneously pretend the framing doesn’t exist.
No, the assumption is baked into the definition you chose.

You defined “boots on the ground” to mean conventional combat forces and explicitly excluded special operations, logistics, support, security, and other personnel who could still be physically operating inside Iran.

So yes, your OP is framed around combat troops from the start. That was my point. You can keep pretending this is about my grammar, but it doesn’t change how you constructed the question.
