BF2S Forums If the US decided to fight Iran, would Iran's military have a chance?

Dresden was the Brits, IIRC.

Firebombing at night because they didn't want to fly during the day.

didn't say it wasn't, just giving an example to shifty that WWII was not exactly precision bombing.

B2s do we have anyway? 21 IIRC. Get 21 of those babies

Put away your G.I. Joe toys and planes, sonny.
The world doesn't work like that.

so, let me see if i understand you correctly. the U.S. only needs to precision bomb Iran and all the problems would disappear?

It worked well in WW2 and the first and second gulf wars. I'm not saying all the problems would disappear, but if things came down to war we could take out their important infrastructure and supplies for their military. If they don't have water, food, ammunition, factories, etc. there isn't much they can do.

Wut?
--More like carpet bombing the shit out of every major city in WW2, followed by a massive ground invasion, with the Red Army doing the most work on the Eastern Front.
--The US didn't participate in the first Gulf war.
--And the second one didn't really solve the problem, with Saddam Hussein still in power until 2003.

Get your facts straight and get down of your high horse, shouting "USA USA".

My dad wasn't flying around in RC-135s in the Persian Gulf in 90-91?

I knew someone would be confused about that.

Yeah all the US army air corps ever did in WW2 was bomb cities. Ever heard of railroads, trains, bridges, factories, airports, etc.? Germany got it's ass handed to it thanks to the air power. Whoever controls the skies controls the ground combat (during good weather).

If Iran doesn't have any roads, factories, bridges, etc. how are they going to right a war? We can also take out their head government buildings, communications, etc. and they'll have no way too coordinate. Hell after doing all that via B2s I wouldn't even bother sending in ground forces since they couldn't do anything.

Actually, many, many people refer to it as Gulf War 2.

I thought Macbeth being a poli sci student would know lel. Well to his defense it's mostly known as the second gulf war amongst more academic circles, while the general public still refers it mainly as "iraq war"

No shit I was talking about the general public you fucking moron.

"War in iraq'' gives over 3 times the amount of hits as 'gulf war 2''

Oh, well. If Google says so...

I love how anyone who disagrees with you is a "fucking moron." Especially coming from someone as heavily schooled as yourself. I really wish I was as smart as you when I was getting my first degree.

B2s can't do all that by themselves.

I just noticed the response was to Cybargs...I thought you were talking to me.

But you still shouldn't call people fucking morons for that.

Can we get on with weather or not the US vs Iran would last 5 days or 5 weeks? I like gloating about our military.
