    What I really want to know is, since the USA can’t just drive over flat ground like all those tanks in Iraq, how the hell are these troops going to GET to Iran?

    1. D-Day amphibious landing vs. horrific killer drones?

    2. Parachute beyond the mountains where they have no chance of ever getting out?

    3. Just try to bring Navy ships into a port and get Pearl Harbored by ballistic missiles?

    Either way, this is one of the only things Trump could ever possibly do that would lead to a mutiny. I don’t mean from his generals or Chiefs of Staff (those have been purged of the disloyal) but from mass fragging events and low-level officers. We might actually see a Battleship Potemkin scenario here, not to mention a Battle of Tsushima scenario.
