        I looked over the war news on NYT and couldn’t find this.

          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?

              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.

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

                        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.

                              Does anyone disagree with me that a ground invasion of Iran by US forces and the IDF would be a disaster?

                                  No. Abandoned.

                                  I don't understand a kind of cheerleading for an illegal war led by Trump of all people and one where the American military are being used in a mercenary capacity.

                                    They did not have nuclear capabilities. They had a nuclear program for industrial development. Their program was being inspected by the international nuclear agency. This is how we know.

                                    This pretext was bullshit. The rationalizations given for 2.0 were bullshit.

                                        Yes, actually, you do. And, that's not the point. The point is Iran was not an eminent threat to the US, and therefore, this is an illegal war of aggression.

                                          A dozen US soldiers are reported injured on a US base overnight, so the bases aren't all abandoned.

                                          Yemen fired a missile at us last night so they are fair game.

                                          You can't negotiate reasonably with fanatical terrorists who have been chipping away at our democracies since 1979 and before. They don't care about anyone else, have nothing to lose except power.
                                          Trump needs to learn this, and also the true meaning of obliterate.

                                          Perhaps the time has come to give these murdering fanatics of Iran a fair warning and then go 'Bomber Harris' on their butts: You sink any one ship and we'll obliterate any one of your 140 cities, plus of course the area from which the missile was fired.
