I think there's more of a chance of Iran drafting their young, able-bodied goat-humpers for their sorry ass army than the U.S instituting a draft. Iran would need more warm bodies after the U.S. and Israel starts decimating their armed forces thru the massive bombing campaign that we are fully capable of.
With U.S. forces in Iraq and Afghanistan ready for action and American warships heading to the Gulf as I type, things can get REALLY interesting.
Maybe that's why those raghead Iranian leaders in Tehran all of a sudden are softening their stance with regards to their nuclear weapons program.
Mahram - I think you should put in your leave of absence from that 7-11 store that you work at and get yourself ready for that draft notice from your bin head leaders.
Often the effigy of an American is shown in a typical ill disposed manner. But generally, most times people refuse to accept this abstraction. Your post, and a few above you, go a long way to perpetuate this notion of the dumb, insecure and ill informed American.
What is extraordinarily funny, is that my Israeli friends used to believe the Israeli army are better equipped and better trained than the British army. This incidence proves that they are not as capable as everyone believes (mostly Israelis and US citizens), they are barely able to contain the hizbulah (or whatever their ridiculous name is). I think it proves that the British army are indeed the greatest on the planet, and that the Israeli army does not compare, even in the slightest, with the British army.
I think it is conclusive that the Israeli army, alone, would have major problems against an Iranian army, given that I read the Iranians train the hizbulah. The Israelis are only relatively effective as a military outfit due to the backing of the US.
I have always said, and continue to maintain that the Israeli army was an unknown quantity, with combat success against pathetic enemies such as Syria and Egypt.
To compare them to the British army is an insult. Their pathetic hit rate has been abysmal in light of the use of "precision" weapons. Killing innocent civilians without regards is why they will be reviled. The US are culpable of the same thing, and why they are disliked the world over. The British army, are not.
