>>508106965Actual former batt boy from 2/75 that had one deployment to Afghanistan which was a surge up through their mountains. Holy fucking hell, we are the hardest mothers in the world and have the best training and weapons, and those mountains were fucking brutal. We did our job, but we ran out of food, all lost about 30+ pounds, and were constantly chasing Al Qaeda across the fucking mountains who were regularly two steps ahead of us. They know those mountains and have been at war for decades, if you don't want to count centuries, which is why Buttfagistan has never been really conquered.
Now imagine Iran is even MORE fucking mountainous than Afghanistan, and larger, and their military is far better equipped than the haji fundamentalists using Russian shit from fifty years ago. A real ground war against Iran would be absolute hell and worse than Iraq and Afghanistan combined. We would suffer many, many casualties.
