Just on the news was some shots of Iran's missle tests with a comment from them about using them against American bases and Israel if prevoked. A popular statement that originated in a move came to mind when I heard that."Go ahead Punk, make my day"

You would think they would get the hint we do not mess around with countries like them.

However, we would be stretched very thin to open a Third military front right now, and they know it.

That said, I still put my money on the boys and girls from the good ole USA!

Yup but it shot oil prices up around $1.40 a barrel :-/

I also dont think we are the ones Iran will have to worry about.  Isreal doesnt put up with alot of crap.

That entirely depends on what type of warhead was on the missle they fired. If it's the wrong type, PFFT..they will be history.

Check this out. Those nutty mullahs are photoshopin.

Now thats funny right there.  Let's photo shop an extra missile or two, that should really scare them!   ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Thats true but fighting an enemy without a country has its own problems and challenges because you dont no where they will be. fighting a country you can look at a map and know where they will be. at least thats the way i look at it, i may be wrong

Don't you guys think we have got enough wars going on right now??????????????????????????????????????????????????????

I'm not saying we would lose by any means, but invading Iran tommorow would be disasterous.  If it gets to the point that action is necessary it will almost certainly be a big air campaign and no troops.

Isreal ain't doing anything big without us either.  They don't have any allies in that part of the world, and will need backing for the inevitable muslim backlash.

in many ways, that makes it a more difficult battle.

I haven't heard about these new tests, but I doubt Iran will have anything that can do much harm to the US for a while. And I agree, Israel won't hesitate to act and would probably do so before the US tries to.

I think we should get something done about Iran sooner rather than later...

If Isreal decides to react we won't have to worry about Iran.

If Israel stikes first we won't have to worry about Iran anymore.

Does this fall into the category of religion/politics?

WW3

Yep, that about sums it up.

My god why not just shut down the whole section everything else, I see nothing wrong with this thread everyone is just talking and giving opinions not attacking each other.

Whether you like it or not this little issue has a direct impact on our daily lives including fishing.  If something starts up in Iran then oil prices are going to soar even higher and you won't be able to afford to even think about going fishing.   I for one like seeing what other peoples opinions are.  This is a very important issue for us all let it keep going nobody is being disrespectful.     :

WW3

Actually I was under the impression that Israel would just flat out stomp them on there own without any help from us,  I was told we are the ones who hold Isreal back from doing it anyway don't know how true that is but I guess you bring up a good point though if that happens it would be ww3 anyways

Israel can take on anybody.  However, if a war starts between Israel and Iran, it's not just going to stay between Israel and Iran.

ALLIANCES cause world wars and nothing brings people together like religion

on paper sure they can.... real world fighting wich they havent done without any help its up in   the air .look at us with iraq .Iran is a whole lot diff then iraq it actullay has a strong gov and way more money and who knows who is gonna side with Iran they have a major pull in this area.they take care of many 3rd and 2 nd world countrys with millions of men willing to fight till death for there cause

Don't forget whos fleet that is sitting on the strait of Hormuz.  Ours.  and that was our Rear Admiral last week tha made  the comment that any action of war in the Strait by Iran would be met with naval retalliation.  I don't know about anyone else, but the middle east as a whole scares the hell out of me right now.

One wrong move by any one and your gonna wish for the days of $4 gas.

Just my opinion.  ff15

WW3

I sincerely doubt that. Iran would be 1991 all over again, missiles or not. If you can't control the air, you can't survive on the ground. And I think those F-14s that Iran has are a bit older than those shiney, sexy F-22's.

I'd re-enlist for the invasion of Iran, personally.

You've got that right.  Gotta love our air force.  (with the exception of the V-22 of course)

Our Air Force can kick some serious ***!!!! Props to the men and women in the United State Air Force!!!

how about the military as a whole

War is simple.  We got that part down.  Marines, Navy, Airforce, and Army...we're all pretty darned good at what we do.  It's the political aftershock of war that we insist on being involved with for some reason that complicates matters.

At least we don't have to worry about a huge invasion force and where to come from.  Iran is surrounded by Coalition forces to the east and west.  And people wonder why they are jumpy.

Regardless of who they decide to shoot that missile at, if anyone, it will play out very, very badly for Iran.  If they decide to hit one of our fleets or our troops, then they will involve themselves in something that they THINK they are ready for, but surely are not.  Each US Fleet has more missiles and planes than what people realize. Each Submarine can carry enough conventional explosives to wipe out entire militaries...that's not even counting nukes.

If Iran decides to shoot at Israel, then hod help Tehran.

I think that this is just a bit of barking, nothing more.  I doubt that even Iran has the gall to openly challenge the US military, this time with the backing of the United Nations.
