Ground troops it is

Points
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Iran is being decimated as the U.S. and Israel target its ballistic missile and nuclear programs from the air.
But meaningful regime change will require a ground component, Netanyahu said, adding that the Iranian people must ultimately rise to the moment.
President Donald Trump, speaking in the Oval Office, said earlier that he would not send U.S. troops to the Middle East.

(25,008 posts) They are already "trained" (in random violence against civilians. Checks one box)
Bonespur "victims" have already been weeded out.
They are already government employees and must go where assigned. (saves TONS of paperwork)
They already have weapons, and unspent budget money.
They already have swell masks to protect from radioactive dust that bombing reactors creates.
They (probably) already have military haircuts, and (this is big)
Their kill to loss ratio is infinite.
Danes agree!

) And may YOU, Bibi meet the TRUE REALITY of war on the ground as soon as you land.
Honestly, is he determined to lose any and all good will Americans have had since its creation for Israel? One would certainly wonder, just as I wonder if Trump is determined to take all of US down WITH HIM.

(29,510 posts)He would have plenty of ground troops if they weren't still waging war on Palestinians. But he's like trump--why spend your own capital when you can get someone else to use their's?

(17,459 posts)Gaza, Lebanon and now Iran. Of course he wants, and needs, US soldiers in Iran. Otherwise he can't sustain operations in Gaza and Lebanon.
But, if Bibi wants to send troops, by all means, have at it.
