We didn’t START a war with Iran. After 47 years of relentless attacks, for the FIRST time we FOUGHT BACK.
From David Harriman, on Facebook:
“The American people have lost the concept of war. It is not entirely their fault. Our political leaders have involved us in endless wars all over the world, which they had no desire to win. The United States has by far the most powerful military in history, and yet we lose wars to Afghanistan and Somalia. We have been conditioned to accept such defeats with a shrug. We have forgotten the soldiers who stormed Omaha beach and Okinawa. Today, General Patton would shake his head in disbelief at the strength of our military and the weakness of our people.
After many decades, we finally have a President who is defending our country. He has vowed to destroy the Iranian regime, which has been attacking us and screaming “Death to America!” for 47 years. In less than two weeks, the top Iranian leadership is gone, their navy is nearly gone, their missile defense systems are almost gone, and most of their missiles are gone. They have suffered 1,400 fatalities and we have suffered seven. That is called winning. We haven’t done it since WWII.
General Patton would not have understood our fear of having “boots on the ground.” Air and sea power are great, but finishing a war requires boots on the ground. At the very least, the ground troops must march into the capitol city and control it. There will be little resistance, but there is always some danger. That is the nature of war.
Democrats have complained that the threat of Iran is not clear. Yet the Iranian regime has an unwavering hatred of Western Civilization, a long history of violence toward us and Israel, and a commitment to improve their ballistic missiles and develop nuclear bombs. The Democrats also claim that this will be another endless war (the kind they create), but it appears that Trump will end a 47-year threat in less than three months. Democrats say that the objective of the war is not clear. But President Trump has stated the objective: Unconditional surrender. The word “unconditional” means “without conditions.” The word “surrender” means that they lay down their weapons and wave a white flag. Then we install an allied government.
We need to recapture our strength and confidence, and we need to remember what it means to win.”
