2. So far, the U.S. military appears to be considering no such thing

To their credit, the U.S. Military has been doing its job, and just doing what it is commanded to do. It is not the job or the function of our armed forces to independently "consider" making unprovoked attacks on other countries on its own. I only hope that IF it is commanded to make an unprovoked attack on Iran, that it refuses, maintaining that such an order can only have been issued by someone not in full possession of his senses.
