You seem to think someone has suggested invading Iran with the US Army/Marines. If so, can you provide a link? If not, just acknowledge that is not what you are talking about.

Or, are you just saying you are opposed to having a smattering of CIA/forward observer/green beret types on the ground to guide strikes and evaluate damage?

Evil preaches tolerance until it is dominant, then it tries to silence good.
