If you're not Iranian, or live near potential targets in Saudi Arabia, probably not. Even if you are, I doubt anything's gonna happen. 1500 troops isn't exactly an invasion force.
Gavin Hall
Yeah
Liam Campbell
Nah the middle east is big and 1500 troops is nothing
Nathaniel Baker
I cannot wait until we bend those ragheads over the table again.
Elijah Jones
I really doubt they will start another war to lose again. They literally just retreated from Afghanistan.
James Ortiz
Fine US but just don't drag my polish ass into this we are shit cannon fodder mkay
David Evans
America hasn't watched one of it's ships sink from enemy action in living memory.
If they swing for Iran, pic related is going to happen.

So now Iran eh?

Iran mined the strait back in the 80's and one of our ships got hit.
Chase Brooks
Not really as likely as you think.

Also if they get us once we'll get them 100 times more.
Parker Green
dear trump,
please send my unit so I can escape going to jrtc and ntc back to back
thanks
Isaiah Nguyen
>back to back
Dear God, why?
Isaiah Sanders
The Mason didn't sink
The Cole didn't sink
The Liberty didn't sink
The psychological trauma of watching a Navy ship sink with several hundred crew is not something Americans are ready for.
[spoiler]which is probably why they'll scuttle one in a false flag attack to get a war started[/spoiler]
Ethan Smith
Just another deployment cycle with a bigger turn-out. Wouldn't worry about it.
Oliver Cook
USS Scorpion, USS Thresher.
Jason Perez
>The Mason didn't sink
That's my point. 9 missiles of the type Iran would be using were fired by the Houthis, and not a single one made it close enough to set off the ship's CIWS. If a single DDG can handle that with SM's and decoys, I really doubt a CVN with its associated protection is at an extreme risk.
Tyler Campbell
if you aint israel then you need to be destabilized if you're in the middle east.
it's that easy.
Gabriel Bailey

Both accidents, both over 50 years ago.
Like I explicitly said. The US Navy has not had a ship *sink* due to enemy action, within living memory.
Asher Clark
Which would suggest that Iran is unlikely to sink an American ship. As was evidenced by the Mason incident, the Chinese-export AShMs the Iranians use seem to be vulnerable to US defensive tactics.
The main threat Iran can pose to a US carrier is through their 3 Kilo-class SSKs.
Christian Gutierrez
Tell that to Saudis burger-kun.
Carson Martin
Who do you think is next after the Iranian boogeyman is gone?
Alexander Cruz
ah yes, 1,500 troops. Truly an invasion Armada.
You muslim shills get so hysterical/defensive over the littlest thing. US sneezes and you jump and scream like it's another nakba. So tiresome.
Jeremiah Davis
If Iran is so powerful, why did they get btfo so bad in Syria to the point where Russia had to save them? Against goat farmers with AK's even.
Jace Richardson
>To beat the goat farmer with AK, one must become the goat farmer with AK
Iran should farm more goats, apparently.
Jeremiah Wood
>1500 troops isn't exactly an invasion force
No shit. Thats a "oh no, poor guys go attacked by Iran, which is the excuse we needed to invade"-force.
Noah Cook
Never happened.

NONONONOOOOO HE DID IT HE REALLY POSTED THE MUTT MEME!!! ITS OVER AMERIBROS!!!!
Josiah Collins
It's not like there aren't plenty of american targets in the mid east already. This is just a deterrence/resolve deployment.
Christopher Rodriguez
Pretty much this. If the US is actually planning to attack, I suspect they'd be pulling a lot of non-essential personnel and equipment out of the region, or at least sheltering them in less obvious targets than their airfields.
Angel Richardson
>lose
>retreated
>plenty ragheads dead
>plenty terrorist / insurgency organizations prevented
nice bait m8
Gabriel Ramirez
Losing in Iran by his definition would be successfully toppling the government, establishing a new US-backed democracy, and then being unable to control the ensuing insurgency in the countryside. If the goal is to just get rid of Iran's government, Iran is fucked no matter what.
Eli Evans
We're going to war over a pipeline.
>mfw people think we're sending soldiers to their death over "terrorists"
Owen Diaz
1,500 is not even a small army.
Also this

Political discussions belong on the appropriate board. Please move this thread to

Thomas Smith
because even though we just went to ntc two months ago, we need to go again for our deployment next february, and right before that we need to go to jrtc to be opfor for some other unit
1ID is great
Easton Wilson
Seems like it happened to me. If Iran was doing a good job in Syria russia wouldn't have had to save assad's ass
Joseph Smith
I don't think the US will be able to manage a major war until there's another big recession that drives people into the military.
Jace Torres
The reasons are multitude and if your answer is "ISRAEL" you're just a dense as the people who think it's all about oil
Benjamin Roberts
Who did you piss off?
Charles Bell
it's divine retribution for my division having the highest suicide rate in the army

Recruitment tends to go up during the initial phases of a conflict.
