I thought six more would be a nice start, but if you're really going to play Win-Occupy-Hold, adding another full size Marine Expeditionary Force might be nice, too. I'm sure we could find something useful for an extra 40,000 jarheads to do.Originally posted by HershOstropoler
So occupation of Iraq, preparation of an attack on Iran, and checking North Korea.
Hey Mike, how many divisions lacking?
Carriers and USAF seem to be ok for the moment, but more B-2s and F-117s wouldn't hurt, either.When all else fails, blame brown people. | Hire a teen, while they still know it all. | Trump-Palin 2016. "You're fired." "I quit."Comment

I'm telling you (yeah, who the f*ck are you to be telling), Phillipines have killed Americans, and harbor terrorists.
Given that Iraq's cruel regime is falling so quickly (even more quickly than I dared hope ), a 2 pronged effort involving BOTH Iran and the Phillipines is certainly feasable.Life is not measured by the number of breaths you take, but by the moments that take your breath away.

Hmmm... only 7,000 islands of treacherous jungle terrain... sure, why not, we could probably clear that out over a holiday weekend!

Really? The fact that they haven't extended significant perimeter defenses is entirely predictable, and regardless of how quickly the war is done, a large portion of the current force will be tied down for occupation duty for a good long time.Originally posted by SlowwHand

As for what's feasible in the Phillipines, ever heard of Wendell Fertig?

Not if I think I'm going to get schmucked by doing so. I'd be rather stupid just to rush across before determining beforehand whether it was safe to do so. And I'd be looking first to see if there was a crosswalk nearby that allowed me to cross safely.Originally posted by Azazel

Yeah, yeah. And 1st Iraq couldn't be hit, then 2nd we shouldn't, then 3rd there would drastic loss of life ( I believe 500,000 was the mist commonly thrown around figure), and on and on.
Start crabbing, guys.
