What’s happening in Iran?

The Shia are the ones who believe only the direct descendants of Mohammed can be leaders While the Sunni don’t correct?
 
When I had the privilege to participate in such war game as civvie for the first time, I was actualy surprised by how difficult the scenario was for bluefor, but also that it wasn't all that easy for redfor either. Not even in the beginning.
You never get that impression when such events are covered in news. Close up like that was a completly different experience.
I guess I'm still not allowed to share any details but what I saw seemed pretty close to how grinding and unrelenting it is for both sides. Like, it wasn't exaggerated, and mistakes/errors and unlucky happenstance all counted. It seemed pretty dynamic and unscripted.

...so many people wanted to find out how to get out of a draft that we don't have, to avoid we're not in, that they crashed the Selective Service website.

They needn't have bothered."

I don’t think we should war it up with Iran but nobody pays me to think and instead enable those making the war with the “int” they need. This piece is worth a read:

In the next few weeks, it is even possible that Iran responds through its Shia militia proxies with attacks on U.S. troops. That would force the United States to up the ante. The D.C. crowd would cheer, as war with Iran became more of a reality.

But war with Iran is fundamentally a D.C. craze. It isn’t in the interest of America, or normal Americans. The connected blue checks on Twitter, or the pundits talking to the camera on Fox News, won’t see their kids or neighbors fight, relatively speaking. Middle America would disproportionately bear the cost, as it always does.

The Fundamental Question Is: Why Is America Still In The Middle East?

If we respond to Iranian actions, I pray we make “shock and awe” look like a elementary school play and inflict such violence upon the Iranian military that surviving leadership begs us to stop.
 
I was just now informed by a family member that has contacts in afganistan, some of his buddies were ordered under cover due to supposedly iranian ballistic missiles fired at Bagram AF base. I'd be surprised if it even made the news.

Please don’t post things like this. The members and staff work very hard to ensure that info in serious threads are as fact based as possible.

Your use of the word “supposedly” should have been the tip-off.

It didn't happen. That's why it won't make the news.
