In that same Iraq war you quoted, over 30,000 US soldiers died.


I think you meant 3000 KIA, tens of thousands wounded ? Iran has roughly 4 times the population too of Iraq. Regime change from the air then is the only option.
Has it ever happened ? Libya 86 ? Nope. Serbia 99 ? Nope. Iraq, various times ? Nope.
To regime change, you need to get your hands dirty, ie, boots on ground. No way US tries that.
For those with spare time read the PNAC document from 1996. States clearly the aim.for the US is "full spectrum dominance". States also which countries are to be subjugated (Iraq, Syria, Lybia and Iran).
The chief of staff to late PM Ariel Sharon said the road to peace in the middle east led through Damascus to Tehran. Make of recent events, in the light of those aims, what you will.

They always start a war in the name of preventing a war. What an irony! And most of their Presidents do this ahead of election when they figure that they risk losing popularity. And they ensure the war is fought on opponents's lands so that the collateral damage and death of civilians is not on their own side.

Let's pray this casualty is limited because Trump has sure made up his mind to start and fight a war, to earn points for the upcoming election.

cool

War isn't the right thing. Both parties will lose greatly.

Standard procedure. They have it with them though. cool

The first pictures show battle hardened men in front. Probably done 2-3 tours in the Middle East.

A staff sergeant. Can't make out the rank of the other one.

The second one is either a Major or a Lt Colonel

See how well kitted they are, fit and battle ready. Somewhere in the poverty capital of the world ravaged by Islamic extremist, their soldiers who always look like a militia or guerilla group are busy displaying madness publicly, roasting bushmeat and fighting with aba made Chinese type 56 (clone of Kalashnikov rifle) .

learn to love your country what these people are facing you cannot face half of it,kitting does'nt mean abstaining from death it is god that save.

It is wrong practice to pack your magazines and ammo in your Bergen or any backpack. I don’t know where you learnt this from or whom you are referencing.

Ammo and magazines should be around your waist.
I doubt the photo you uploaded is from the military. If it is, kindly post the link. What kind of military use bright coloured ear guard? A good marksman would take your head off from a good distance. That red colour is bullseye to even a soldier with bad collimation.

The red or bright coloured ropes as well!!

Don’t confuse an American hunting gears with a military gear.


Let me shed light on this as I see a lot of people are just guessing. These guys are getting deployed from Fort Bragg, NC, a safe military base in America, to an American base in Kuwait, a safe country. It will interest you to know that these guys will most likely not get deployed on this flight with any magazines or live rounds on their person whilst enroute to Kuwait. They will only be issued with magazines and live rounds when they need them at the armoury in the American base in Kuwait. This is standard practice with most Armies worldwide, and I'm yet to see any Army that deploys from one safe base to another with live rounds in an aircraft. The magazines and ammunition is transported separately by the Logistics Corps.

Source: I trained and lived with these guys years ago in a previous life in Fort Bragg, NC.

At least few of these soldier's lives will be served up when Iran come seeking vengeance. USA soldiers comprise of all races. I'm sure there are Iranians in US military.

after the defeat of Iraq,me Bush said that Iraq is down,the next target is Syria.

It is actually quite an irritation reading what most of these kids post online.

As I often say, the GDP per capita of Nigeria is 2 thousand dollars.

That is what the average Nigerian generates for his society, yet he wants live like a New Yorker.

They champion wars whilst their peers even in the very countries of conflict are marching for peace.

Too many numpties and primitive people in Nigeria.

No surprise the country is regarded as 3rd world.

What did Buratai do with 1 billion dollars released by the Federal Govt?

How did Dasuli get 2 trillion Naira to share like a goddamn ATM?

What is happening to the antiterrorism fund being doled out regularly to the greedy defence chiefs?

Oga, nobody is asking to live in utopia but that those military chiefs should be honest and if they can't, they should be tried and excited if found wanting

The picture you posted there are that of the Nigerian army special forces.

Una special force isn't even half as kitted as a US infantry foot soldier, a regular . We ain't even talking about the delta force, Marines , navy seals etc here.
