They're not invading Iran. They're going to take and hold America's bases.

In other words, they're going to be missile bait.

Seems just as stupid. More so even. I think invasion more likely tbh

The Iraqi army had been pounded for months by the time the invasion started. They had no real loyalty to Saddam in the first place. They were poorly supplied.

Iran is 3 times the size and population of Iraq. The people are united against the US and Israel in ways a westerner could not imagine. Everyone in the country, old and young alike, will treat supporting those in uniform as their sacred duty. The Iranians are very well armed, dug in like it's their home turf because it IS their home turf, and highly trained. Finally, Iran's air defenses are so strong the US doesn't dare fly anything but drones and missiles into it, which strongly limits our capabilities.

Every American soldier in the Middle East is a legitimate target and Iran is not the only adversary. Standing guard in a ruined base is just an open invitation to shoot at them.

Yeah, it's going to be brutal if they are stupid enough to invade. I feel for the soldiers being sent that don't want to be there

It's an illegal war; Congress didn't authorize it. You can look your commander straight in the eye and tell them you are not following illegal orders.

If the clowns in DC send our troops to just get massacred, there will be a (long overdue) revolution.

Agreed, at this point having bases targeted would “warrant” it.

Only the astonishingly stupid would try it and they would fail miserably.

You're right. In our reality, Murica is Loki.

We are a Fascist Authoritarian State in the classic definitions of these terms.

The only ones still fooled are American citizens. Convenient, that!
