General Discussion

been 6 thousand sorties flown and what they called a navy no longer exists, yet you want to believe Chinese and other media gossip offerings and the predictions of CNN talking heads? Preposterous. And much of the info in those DU posts has already been proven false.
They have shot down 2, 50 year-old aircraft in 5 weeks, the best of which is operating a 20 year-old radar system and legacy EPAWSS. In the end, we'll lose more troops and equipment to accidents than we will at the hands of what's left if the Iranian military.
So yes, effectively neutered. No one is under any illusions (well most of us anyway) that fighting a war can be done without casualty, regardless of the opponent. But to suggest that they are a serious threat to the operational goals is outright laughable at this point. Oh wait, they must be waiting for just the right moment to stop all of the destruction? Please. The only thing the Iranians are capable of at this point is the same thing they started with, and that is scattered terrorism, which further supports the idea that what is happening needed to happen a very long time ago. This was a Democratic party foundational position until very recently for some reason.
I am sorry that it bothers you, but we aren't losing. An occasional lucky shot does not a viable enemy make.
We can all equally despise Trump, but it makes no sense whatsoever to take a position that defies reality.
