Dude, that was a waste of timeBoth sides?Iran isn't Syria. It appears you Warhawks think it will be a walk in the park. It won't be. There is going to be a lot of dying on both sides even if it's done just by air alone.
You seem to think that Iran is going to just curl up in a ball. They practice for this situation and will be willing to give a lot of lives while taking a lot of lives with them. They know they have one shot. They are going to make it a good one. Those little speed boats armed with missiles and torps aren't there for a weekend at Bernies. You can't stop them all. Those shore batteries aren't there to make the beaches look nice. As poor as their Air Force is, it's still going to launch and do damage. People on both sides are going to die and be hurt. It's not a friggin video game.
Actually, modern warfare is very much like a video game.
Then you have never participated in one. Like many others in here, I have. No one dies in a video game. No one loses limbs in video games.
What I meant is that much of modern combat technology was first envisioned in film and videogames.
