I remember when I was a child talking to my dad about his career (he was a USMC fighter pilot) and he told me that you can win with air power - but: "you still have to stand on the ground you've taken." There's no real way to beat Iran without ground troops. You can do whatever you want from the air, but as long as they still stand on that ground, they haven't really lost. And that's pretty much our enemies' strategy these days - outlast us. It's worked well for them ever since Vietnam.

@Alyosha And putting troops on the ground is certain path to defeat for America. Those troops will aotomatically become targets and casualties as soon as they are in rifle range..😷

You mean, it's worked well for them ever since the War of 1812, Vietnam, Panama, Iraq, Afghanistan and now Iran will prove to be one more bad experience that the US military can add to it's list of lost wars that America started.
I wonder when the US military is going to figure out that Americans are really not natural warriors, despite having access to the best hardware in existence?
