How would this play out in real life?
As tensions escalate in the Persian Gulf region, it’s worth recalling a 2002 Pentagon war game in which a U.S. Marine Corps played the part of an enemy commander waging a bloody defensive campaign against a much more powerful U.S. force.
Lt. Gen. Paul Van Riper’s own hodgepodge of troops, ships and planes was similar in organization and capability to Iran’s actual forces. Van Riper’s success in blunting a simulated American assault could reveal how Tehran might fight in the real world.

WNU Editor: Iran should never be underestimated.
Except an Iranian general is probably the equivlant of a U. S Lt
ReplyDeleteTruth be told, the American leadership cannot comprehend winning a war. Its not that Iran is a worthy opponent, rather Generals, Admirals and even the President would have no job if the world was peaceful. America is so successful because of dragged out wars, because it spends an insane amount of its armed forces. No one could comprehend the difficulties of America without wartime production, an America with Generals who outright defeat armed opposition.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations to Lt. Gen. for a successful defense, but America is nothing more then the military equipment and manpower of a coalition of nations and if America is truly wanting to be successful in an Iranian invasion they would give command and control to experienced Generals whom could never have dreamed of commanding a coalition of troops, but rather that one who with very little has achieved alot.
A man who can do alot with very little, given authority of an entire coalition, will not just grasp victory, but will utilize troop movements in such a way it would be a literally unstoppable flood.
By the way if the Iranians had our military they would be sitting in the white house right now 😆
