Honestly. Without regard to the whole "should they be attacked" argument.
This is the freaky awesome combat effectiveness of Iran?
Fuck. They make Saddam's army look the German 9th.
Bad analogy. Blaskowitz's 9th without wheels and grits.
The fearsome tactical power of Iran, in your face.
Hinds. Scuds. The occasional field battery. And a bunch of guys with beards and Kalashnikovs, aka "targets". Nice spats though.
This isn't a projection of power. That's laughable. What's it supposed to be, a distraction?
Until they can project real power. Then things change.
UPDATE: The Sun Kings of VAW 116 say bring it.
