As far as ground troops/a draft, I think people forgot, or don't know, that the US has given a massive amount of munitions to the Ukrainians as well as assorted equipment, and the US Army specifically is years away from being prepared to fight a war. Literally, the draftees wouldn't have anything to fight with beyond some busted Humvees and rifles. Most of those Abrams tanks in the desert have been stripped down to a hull, and shell production in the US is still small-scale.

It is why the US (as well as Israel) is trying to make this all about an air war because that is what the US has.

Was it 2/3rds of USA army infantry units aren't even motorized

I mean in the eyes of Hamas settlers where fair game and not civilians as they have murdered hundreds of Palestinians over the last couple of years with this year being the deadliest in the West Bank.

Yeah, and it makes me wonder about the "Israeli civilian casualties" figures floating around. I don't doubt that Israel is juicing them to begin with (since they're trying to justify literal genocide, after all), but there's also going to be a reverse version of the "all military-aged males are combatants" logic happening, where armed settlers are treated as "civilians."

boy, do I have news for you about the young bucks who came back from vietnam opposed to the war, ran for congress on that, and never left.

I don't know if you're still there, but if you are GET OUT NOW

This is a common (and very deadly) booby trap often wielded by the you-know-whos. The shoes carries a shaped charge specifically designed to cause the power lines to connect with the ground after detonation, electrocuting everyone within a several hundred meter radius. It's a vicious and inhumane trick.

i genuinely believe that a part of it is leftover embarassment about the hostage crisis. people tend to form their world-views in a relatively short window and people who were 15-18 in 1980 are now in very senior military and political positions

If that sounds far fetched, keep in mind the exact same people running the government back then are still running the government now

Why is the American government so invested in going to war with Iran?

Iran, Cuba, Ecuador, Venezuela, Russia, NK are all countries that bank outside of the FED / SWIFT system.

We don't get to exert petro dollar power whenever those economies do business. It effectively undercuts our entire scam the more market share they gain access to.

Anytime there's a flippant reason to embargo/invade/coup/bomb or otherwise economically hamper them we do it without thinking.

We want things to be so bad/decapitate their leadership so a friendly puppet can go sell their oil for us dollars and let our oil executives rest easier at night.

Whatever the opposite of bullish is me about the US military. I don't think we could invade Iran even if you believe we would actually draft. I'm not sure we could even invade Mexico successfully. People underestimate what a chicken poo poo nation this is.
