If you keep saying that to yourself, maybe on day you end up convincing yourself. It sure make it easier when you see those body bag land on American soil. What is funnier is most people that has "support out troops" stickers drive SUVs.
Do you really doubt that if push came to shove, the Persians and the entire Arabs would last more than a week or two in a battle with us?
First, what do you mean by "us". Are you including yourself. I do not think so, you are a coward, you will not get involved with the war.
Two, we have seen what the army on the ground can do, and if I were you, I would not mentioned it, it is disappointing.
Again if you look how the US forces and NATO forces are getting their asses kicked you would not comment here on SI.

Sarman is a living example of why Arabs lose wars. They repeat their prideful fantasies until they fool themselves. Then they don't bother to use proper training, logistics or discipline.

Unfortunately, the Iranians do not suffer from the same failings and are thus much tougher enemies, especially as this regime has no value for human life, Iranian or anybody else.

Don't forget, in the Iran-Iraq war, Ahmedinijad was a trainer in the Basji Brigades. He sent boys as young as 12 with plastic "keys to heaven" around their necks out to clear minefields with their bare bodies.
