Too bad you will never see it that way yourself, but just pretend Israel is always going to be the "better of the evils".
And realize you just totally support Israel.

Life is complicated and things happen that you do not anticipate.
So most high tech weapons sometimes do not work. Many casualties happen from most basic weapons.
The problem with Western weapons systems is that these are too complicated. It take a lot of training to use them. If West suffers much manpower losses in war, a time will come when new recruits will not be trained effectively.
West suffers from a lack of military manpower. US has a gun culture, but I can bet that not even 5% of those owning guns in the US can be good soldiers. Ultimately these guns will be used in civil war to kill each other.
Sometimes reality is much worse than we imagine.

Don't you guys get tired of all these wacko kids totally lune adults that have absolutely no concept of how this world works?
I am not for war of any kind. But, Israel has every right in the world to defend itself.
People who rebel against their own government for anarchy, because they are bored, because they have nothing to lose, because they don't know any better, are straight up irresponsible and completely foolish.
I know you who I speak of aren't the religious type. But the bible specifically outlines, multiples of times, the most important of commandments... OBEY THY MOTHER AND FATHER.
So stop with the whiney BS conspiracy videos and threads. Get behind your country and it's allies.

Well, regardless of what most people may think, Israel is more than capable of handling themselves. The US will not betray them in their hour of need. These people are tough, I for one would'nt mind fighting side by side with their soldiers. IMHO, israel can steam roll syria an iran, but their posture so far is interesting in the face of these current conflicts.
Who knows what their goals may have been during their little surprise pre-emptive strikes on syria. But I'm thinking it was somthing they deemed a threat.

Its the leadership of all these nations that have Agendas. Don't fall for the rhetoric. Don't pick a side.

US citizens don't want war, that is for certain. It's not because we're worried about what Iran or Russia will do. It has more to do with the fact that its not our fight.edit on 8-5-2013 by seabag because: (no reason given)

Hey Garg, let me first start off by saying that I do respect you, especially from the ancient civilization thread.
But let me say this, I have to disagree with your post, you may have an understanding of a certain percentile capable of joining the military, but its not 5%, more like 1%, yeah, a staggering 1% of the whole US population is capable of joining the US military.
Western weapon platforms are not all that difficult to use, if your refering to F-22 Raptors an F-18 Super Hornets then sure, not anybody can fly those, either a warrant officer or O3 an above. But my overall point is its not hard to master a 50 Cal, M4 carbine, Crew served weapons an any other weapon at the squad level. I for one can shoot expert on the M249. Plus you have to at least maintain current weapons qual, if you can't shoot, then there is no need for you in the military

There is a lot going on against Iran. People do not know because it does not get western press.
The US/Israel are trying everything in Iran - from economic blockade to creating chaos within Iran.
So let us not pretend there is nothing going on.
This is the same escalatory spiral seen elsewhere. Conditions are being prepared for an all-out war.
