We should activate the draft.

Great idea (the best, many people are saying): invade a landmass multiple times the size of Iraq, within a natural citadel of mountainous terrain, against an enemy with a penchant for drones and cultural elements that laud vengeance through suicidal acts. We'll name it Trumpistan. (Not my idea, somebody else came up with the name.)

It would be a pointless and total slaughter without any hope of achieving concepts of goals. The IRGC and Basij are way more organized, sophistication, dedicated, larger, and prepared than either ISIS or the Taliban. This is what happens when all of the adults are fired and the only ones left are evangelical Christian white supremacists who believe this war will hasten the second coming of Jesus. Oh, and there's like 120k-200k Shaheeds still waiting in caves to be sent over 2k at a time towards GCC, US, and IL targets once very expensive interceptor inventories have been largely depleted. 2 $1 billion radar systems and 6 lives have already been destroyed and lost respectively from failure to plan and defend using proper layered air defenses. This whole thing is a wag the dog Trumpstein files distraction combined with the egos of bloodthirsty admin officials who want war.

The idea of the US being so cucked that it's willing to send its young men and women off to the sandbox once again to die for Israel is morbidly fascinating.
