I really dont know how to react on this one
As far as the issue of Iran goes....as an active military member let me tell you what I know
In accordance with LOAC (Law Of Armed Conflict) the Iranians have 350,000 graves already dug in the desest in aticipation for an conflict or a war of somesort. So they are preparing for something and know that something is comming from Isreal. Around June, the Isrealian Air Force did "practice" exercises over sites of interest in Iran using the F-16s (THAT WE GAVE THEM) the F-15s (THAT WE GAVE THEM) and multiple bombers (THAT WE ALSO GAVE THEM) Iran responded 2 weeks later by testing their Shahab-3 longrange missles. CNN.com reported that they successfully made it to targets in parts of the Middle East, and European Parts of Interest with the capibility of hitting the base that I am stationed at currently. We were briefed about this while I was at Sheppard Air Force Base Texas and briefed again when I arrived here.
This base constantly runs at FPCON BRAVO so we are on a bit of a hightened alert. For those that dont know what FPCON is, google it. Bottom line is that we are all preparing to Deploy at some point while we are here. Myself included. For me it could come at anytime. So we know that if Isreal desides to push that button and make the first move, know that Iran can push back and then some. We will be going over there to protect our way of life the way I protect my fiancee and child that is on the way.
Unless something happens, expect us to be fighting in Iran within 1-2 years
