If Trump sends US troops to Iran, will they truly support the war?

[888theGreat]

We have 100,000 Troops ready to go into Iran, but will they really have their hearts into it? Do they believe war is unjust?

No , they don't think war is just

Yes , they will be ready to die if war is just or unjust.

a lot of them are liberals and will start "no kings" protests in Iran, quickly moving to Saudi Arabia. There, they will be murdered by the effective kings that are in place... especially the women, unless they enslave them like they did others.

Then they'll rejoin trump and israel and try to survive.

terrible sarcasm aside, it's a terrible stressful time for the military and all prayers to them. they should not be deployed in there, it's a kill zone. The president has rightfully so far only used it as pressure, been conservative. with ships going throught he SoH, it's much riskier.

[robocop666]

They will be murdered there

If US landed on Iran's shores it will end up like Russian invasion of Ukraine.
China will send drones it Iran and we will see scenes of gutted US soldier which cry for mercy before the go to afterlife. Of course Iranian soldier will die either, maybe even more but every empire takes its power from displaying inviolability and invincibility.
China will lose just few thousand drone toys and hypersonic missiles to bomb Israel.

Soldiers aren't paid to think, they're paid to follow orders. But here's the thing, it doesn't matter if they support the war or not, they're still in the firing line and want to survive.

[Zack-Bann]

I’m glad most people here said it as well:
Soldiers are soldiers, they are trained to follow orders not debate or question them


Those who can’t do that usually get sacked as early as boot camp


So yes, whoever goes to war will fight it wholeheartedly


The self doubt and PTSD will come way later after he’s left the service

[RavVid]

I imagine that they will think it is a bad idea for Iran to have nuclear weapons and would prefer to do it now instead of getting nuked later.

It is getting to the point of the Arab League declaring war on Iran. They have to be thinking 'Lets finish them off'.

Recruitment for all branches of military have been up since President Trump became president. He has gotten DEI out of the military and chased all the woke officers out. Today's military is a Pro America fighting force. The recent success in Iran shows the training and technology of the US military and the commitment of our service personnel

[NathanDavis]

well, they are not allowed to question the reasons

the thing is though... WAR IS BUSINESS

and there are going to be a lot of mercenaries (soldiers for hire) going into it... and to get their 450k+ per year

[DryGermanGuy]

They will not commit mutiny, that's for certain. But 100.000 men will hardly be enough, with the Iraq war being conducted by 600.000 men and Iran being four times the size of Iraq.

[Kelley1]

The military is a dictatorship. They don't have a choice. If they are killed, we can send replacements.

[Apostate_______]

Send MAGA. They want this war. So they can put down their doritos and make their their leader proud I say.

[Anonymous]

They are professional soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines sworn and paid to fight any enemy they are sent to fight, they aren't conscripts.

So yes they will fight.

[Jersey2]

The American Army is trained to kill and follow orders. It doesn’t have to hate their enemy, it just has to do its job… and it will.

[indissoluble]

You really love digging in your ass to pull out bullshit don't you.

[msc545]

If they are like most of the rest of us, they will think that the war is irrational and a waste of lives and money.

[Anonymous]

That would be too dangerous because Iran has a lot more troops than the USA.

[Filthy_Immigrant]

if you're a soldier you have to go fight the war whether you support it or not. its your job

[Dargil]

They are trained and ready to serve. The was is just.

[Snakeyes7]

That would be too far for me personally.
