Iran (Disclaimer-- the war, not the country)

[jon-nyc]

I saw some excerpts describing the damage some have taken, and many of the troops were evacuated before the war, knowing these would be targets. But they’re all (or almost all) still being used for aircraft sorties, which means they’re nowhere near obliterated. It’s not hard to disable a runway with a bomb.

Iran has the ability to target and destroy these bases and one is incredulous? Why?

[Daniel]

What does one expect from this war, anyway? The Commander is the President. The war was ill-advised. Every US intelligence agency failed to back any of the myriad of reasons the US public was told about it why it was necessary.

Don't worry Daniel, NATO have got your back

[Daniel]

Oh, I was never worried, Andy, and NATO is irrelevant.

13 US bases uninhabitable.

Twelve thousand US soldiers potentially going to the area. Wonder where they'll be sent when they arrive?

[Daniel]

I grew up in a military family two miles from an Air Force base.

Take out the runways. Take out the tower. What have you.

Don't forget military bases aren't countries. They are very small in terms of land area.

Americans have been fleeing to hotels from military bases for some time.

Maybe they’ll land directly on Kharg island.
