Now We Are Hearing The 'Boots On The Ground' Narrative

But What Does That Mean?
 
Realize – 'boots on the ground' requires an INVASION, based on the pure size and scope of the necessary force, the territorial size of Iran, the size of the population, not to mention the terrain, avenues of approach, basing rights, etc.

The narrative is coming from many circles, from the political-left and right. But, most of all it comes from the ignorant -- the clueless who have no concept of what 'boots on the ground' means or entails. It’s just an easy and simple narrative to throw out there try to make you believe President Trump is going to put U.S. military forces on the ground in Iran. They really believe it.

Yes, we put 'boots on the ground' in a lot of countries since WWII. Certainly, we all know the consequences of the largest efforts -- Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq. All failures because they were intended to do 'regime change', topple a government, and of course -- 'nation building', the “NeoCon’s forever war community’s” second favorite phrase after regime change.

At the time of getting involved -- with 'boots on the ground' in Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan and Iraq, all were relatively large nations with populations of 25 to 40 million. In contrast, Iran is twice the size with a population of over 92 million.

Iran has been gutted to the point to where it's pretty toothless militarily. There might be some recoverable uranium at the bottom of Fordow, but retrieving it and making it into anything other than a dirty bomb is pretty much out of the question.

They are going to need outside help to be able to get a nuke sometime in the reasonable future.
