OMG not knocking your age or anything, but it says 19 over on the left so... That means that you we just born as the US entered war with Iraq for the first time and at that time Iraq commanded the 4th largest army in the world. We planned for around 40% losses in operation desert storm and what we got was neutralizing of Iraq's command and communication in days and the total destruction of its army within weeks.
Again not a slam, but you missed a true showing of what our Army can do. Iraq did attempt to put up a fight at first, but had no chance due to our massive technological superiority (including excellent maintenance and training.) Not to mention the shear numbers of hardware we had at that time. Remember we just 1 year prior ended the cold war with Russia which had us training hard and buying harder to prepare for a showdown with the commies.
If we went into Iran they'd just lay down and that would be the smart thing to do. Then they'd just come out and do the suicide bomber crazy thing they do everywhere.
