MASH (Korea as proxy for Vietnam) and China Beach (Vietnam) were both series about healers during wartime and worthy popular cultural efforts to examine and help heal the wounds of the disastrous Vietnam War AND to act as a cautionary tale about any future military conflicts: War is Death. A more bloody, horrifying, unimaginably expensive/profitable and idiotic “business failure” does not exist. No wonder our sadistic, incompetent and quite mad President “Kurtz” hears only the ka-ching of cash registers and imagines he loves “the smell of napalm in the morning”.

I seem to recall another dictator who called his war now going on its fifth year a "special military operation".

There is no point to this. No national interest served. The Iranian regime is evil, but so are a lot of other regimes we live on friendly terms with.

In the end, we will waste trillions of dollars on a pointless war of aggression with nothing to show for it.

If trump hates war so much, why did he unofficially rename the Department of Defense"the Department of War"? Without an Act of Congress, it's not official, but everybody in the regime calls it "the Department of War," and have spent our money changing letterheads, etc to reflect that.

He can call it anything he likes, because he not only has a captive fight wing media human centipede, but there are lots of people paid $$ to be professionally credulous.

Perhaps djt will claim “war” is just a word democrats recently made up; like “affordability”

trump probably never read Shakespeare, or watched any of his plays, or if he did, he wouldn't understand them. In any case, he clearly doesn't know "...what's in a name?" and thinks that if he doesn't call it a war, then no one will think of it as a war.

Lord help us all. It’s bad enough that this regime even chose to do this but their extreme incompetence is only making it worse. This is not a video game but real people are involved. It’s nothing but hubris to not even care about them as they sit in their castles.

trump will send ground troops into Iran because he's bored with the bombing, and you are right, he sees the troops as NPCs in a video game. In fact, he sees all of this as a video game. His sons won't be sacrificed for his game.

I posted this at Wonkette:

They are going to deploy ground troops in Iran on Good Friday or on Easter Sunday, because the fake Christians in the regime will think that it's appropriate to sacrifice other peoples' children for their own selfish desires. God sacrificed his own Son so that humans could have eternal life. This regime will not only make everything worse with a ground war, but will pervert the most holy of Christian holidays.

ETA: I hope that I'm wrong, and that there won't be a ground invasion, but reporting makes it look like it will happen. The assholes in the regime are evil enough to debase the most solemn of the Christian holidays (Good Friday, because of Jesus's death) and the most joyful (Easter, because if Jesus' resurrection).
