Meditations on the Iran War

Unconditional surrender a lesson the Japanese learned and have been much better off for ever since.

Eisenhower demanded unconditional surrender by the Germans, also.

Yeah but there was a difference between the German people and the Nazi hierarchy if you remember the population was forced to tour the concentration camps to see exactly what had happened.

The Japanese on the other hand were fanatical they were jumping off of cliffs rather than face surrender to the Americans the only thing that could force it on them was true shock and awe with the A bombs.

The original Godzilla movie was an attempt for them to get their heads around what had happened a lot of the footage in that movie is actual radiation victims after the bombing.

Good one but it could have just said "President have information you don't. Your opinion not matter:.

This one hit home. After I got out, I spent years talking people out of joining our woke military, even going as far as helping them find jobs and trade schools. I would never have believed that Hegseth could turn things around so quickly, but we once again have a first-rate military.

There are two huge issues here, had Iran built an atomic bomb they would have used it, the same people denying that truth are the ones claiming that we had no right to stop them. That stupidity is not worth discussion. This conflict can only end one way, regime change. Letting another Muslim cleric build another bomb is not a strategy, it is suicide.

Maybe the best exit strategy should be not getting involved in the first place.

Would've been that if it hadn't been 47 years of 'USA/Israel is Satan' 'If we get a nuke we will use it.' 'Promises and treaties are for suckers and infidels.' and so and so on..

A preemptive exit strategy, it might be called. Certainly would work as far as exiting goes.
