No offense Ital but it sometimes seems the people most willing to fight are the ones who can't. If you ask anyone who's been there or around it, and I can assure you I have, no one in a uniform is thrilled with the idea of fighting in Iran.

Everyone who spent time in the desert during Gulf War I knew that round two would suck. The weather, the living conditions, etc. Marines are currently pulling 12 month rotations to shit holes all over Iraq. None of them want to pack up just so we can turn around and do it all again in the Iranian desert, with a gauranteed significantly higher mortality rate.

I understand the nature of the business involves potentially sacrificing your life. The deal is, everyone who does it assumes that if they do give their life, it will be for a greater good or have some meaningful impact. Its one thing to die or lose a limb to save Europe from the Nazis. Its another to die in the sands of Iran to prevent a hypothetical.
