The Nazis tried it, the Soviets tried it. I'm hoping Trmp has no better luck saving his illegitimate regime. nt

(5,154 posts)4. If we decide to put boot on the ground in Iran
Hes going to need as many bodies as possible.
This will give those older MAGA men that are older a chance to test their macho man to man shit against a .223 or 5.56 or better (not sure what Iran uses).
For the rest of us, parents especially - take care of your sons and daughters. I say daughters because while this administration and Pete H., hate DEI , they will discover that there are just not enough men. And, when the body bags start coming home - he will discover that they even like Trans people to serve.
