There are many more military people who support what Trump did than oppose him. There are wimpy conservatives too, so what. Being scared of what Iran could do to us is about as wimpy stupid as you can get.

Thank god you don't have your finger on the nuclear button... the world would have been vaporized 12,000 times over by now.
Its not what Iran can do to us, its what it does to the US image worldwide and how much support we can muster because of it. I'll be perfectly honest with you. Part of me was like fuck that guy, fuck the Quds forces, fuck the Ayatollah, fuck Iran. Why? Because they've been mindlessly chanting "Death to America" for four decades now and have recently been making some very bold moves that practically begged for an outcome like this. Part of me thinks its nice to be able to demonstrate to the naysayers that the US can target anyone, at anytime.... do NOT fuck with us.
That's my ego getting in the way.
The other side of me, the more rational part of me, says this is a dangerous gambit. First of all, the president did not seek congressional authority. Instead he used war powers under the pretense that "an attack was imminent." Has anyone seen any evidence to support this unsubstantiated claim?
What the president authorized was an act of war. There's just no other way to put it. Now it gives Iran, of all fucking places, the moral high ground to launch a counter-assault AND have the rest of the planet say, "Well, shit, they're justified."
Its not that the US is wimpy because of what Iran can or can't do... do you understand that Iran is supported by China and Russia? Talk to me about wimpy during your nuclear winter -- you're starving to death, freezing to death, because the Russian military just took out the Eastern seaboard and you have no electricity, there's looting and panic in the streets. Oh, you can't tell me about it because what's "the internet?" A thing of the past as we plunge headlong back into the Stone Age.
All that assuming you survive the actual blast, dear. Oh, but we got those Red bastards back... they're dying too. Well, hoorah for all us!!! Now the whole planet is gonna die, not just us. We sure showed them!!!
This is a dangerous game we're playing... how short our memories are when it comes to world wars and their ineffable horrors. You don't get it. But you just might find out with bravado like that.
Lastly, this goon is talking about attacking "cultural sites" in Iran.... lol, what??? Yeah, don't attack military compounds or critical infrastructure... lets go after mosques and piss off a billion Muslims. Brilliant strategy. We'll for sure have the moral high ground then.
Use your fucking brain!!!!
