Feels different than Iraq. In 2001-03 everyone was in for whatever and it was blasphemy to say the war was unjust or ill advised. Everyone was ready to enlist.

People don’t want to die for Israel and they don’t want their kids to. Even the die hard MAGA aren’t into it. They can’t sell dead troops.

@hacks4pancakes Your conclusion - they can’t sell dead troops - is spot on IMO. You probably remember Dick Cheney and W and Condi Rice et al lying about the nonexistent weapons of mass destruction people went along that idea. They’re done with that shit. With Iran now, everyone knows there is no threat to the US. Vietnam is the lesson that the MAGA GOP ignores. Family members killed or fleeing. Fighting a war without popular support is a fool’s errand
