Looks like 15 missilies were fired,4 failed,1 hit -- VTUD 01/07/2020 10:42PM
I think that is correct ** -- AirborneHokie96 01/08/2020 07:51AM
They know if Americans are killed, there will be severe consequences. -- EDGEMAN 01/08/2020 07:19AM
Interesting. Level heads... we need them now. ** -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:46PM
I think that the Iranian leaders know -- VTUD 01/07/2020 10:52PM
I really don't think we want to take out their oil fields. -- EDGEMAN 01/08/2020 07:22AM
Just saw the tail end of an interview on ABC news with some iranian -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 9:59PM
When you have a dictactorship, hard to put stake in crowd numbers... -- RUHokie 01/07/2020 11:40PM
In Iran, they knock on your door as ask if you're attending the march. -- EDGEMAN 01/08/2020 07:18AM
What a time to be alive. Social media is a big part of politics now ** -- RoCo_Hokie 01/07/2020 10:02PM
Everything depends on what we do next -- HokieAl 01/07/2020 9:45PM
We are -- AirborneHokie96 01/07/2020 10:12PM
Yup. Goes back to how they recognize force in a bigger way than they do -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:16PM
I was thinking it would be one of three responses (more) -- Hokie360 01/07/2020 10:07PM
Probably largely depend on whether Americans were killed in the response. ** -- Atlee Hokie 01/07/2020 11:36PM
I like number 2. And COMPLETELY decimate those sites. Id like to -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:13PM
See my post above. I think Iran is directly challenging Trump to act -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:03PM
There is a very big difference between a US base on foreign soil and -- HokieAl 01/07/2020 10:17PM
Not a decision to take lightly. What do you thnk about number 2 proposed -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:22PM
I'll try a silly but simple analogy -- HokieAl 01/07/2020 11:30PM
Im not arguing against you, and i fully understood your first point. -- HokieSignGuy 01/08/2020 12:06AM
Oh I don't mind at all. It's a good mental exercise to try and reframe this -- HokieAl 01/08/2020 12:16AM
I believe you nailed it. Did you serve? ** -- RoCo_Hokie 01/07/2020 9:55PM
Not in the military. But I did spend a lot of my career -- HokieAl 01/07/2020 10:05PM
Ah, that makes sense. You seem to be well in tuned with whats going on ** -- RoCo_Hokie 01/07/2020 10:08PM
We don't need to put many boots on the ground -- AirborneHokie96 01/07/2020 9:35PM
And then? ** -- SDHokie 01/07/2020 10:01PM
We keep doing what we are going to do -- AirborneHokie96 01/07/2020 10:09PM
I saw this article earlier today, on the 82nd Airborne deployment -- Hokie360 01/07/2020 10:18PM

Certainly takes the focus off impeachment... ** -- UTPr0sim 01/07/2020 9:34PM
Never mind that they killed a US contractor in an attack recently -- fordham 01/08/2020 10:31AM
Yes it does (taking this as dry humor) ** -- `lag 01/07/2020 10:08PM
This escalation has been on-going for quite some time -- AirborneHokie96 01/07/2020 9:38PM
Agreed. The uninformed, which are many, think ALL of this started from a -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:07PM
I was in the Bekaa Valley in Lebanon in June -- AirborneHokie96 01/07/2020 10:14PM
Jeeze. What a mess. Iran pulling strings all over. ** -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 10:17PM
Doubt it. A handful of fatah 110 laser guided missiles. Very limited ** -- ColoVT82 01/07/2020 8:56PM
Interesting that given all the defenses that the U.S. has and sells -- VAHokie89 01/07/2020 8:51PM
I was wondering about that too. Guess we will find out tomorrow. -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 9:15PM
Will be announcing a return to the draft any day now ** -- Bburg Native 01/07/2020 8:49PM
I wonder what % even bother registering these days. (It's still required) ** -- 48zip 01/08/2020 09:01AM
That’s when you’ll see the American public really start caring about all -- Stork 01/08/2020 04:18AM
No need ** -- ColoVT82 01/07/2020 8:56PM
Thats an interesting thought. I think there would a lot of CO, -- CochraneResident 01/07/2020 8:56PM
Bone spurs acting up, etc. ** -- BB Hokie 01/07/2020 9:09PM
Just say they purposely targeted bases -- HOKIEVET 01/07/2020 8:31PM
This is my thought too. They HAD to respond with some immediate action. -- HokieSignGuy 01/07/2020 9:19PM
I've had that thought -- `lag 01/07/2020 9:10PM
Any US casualties means missiles will be heading back their way. ** -- EDGEMAN 01/07/2020 9:33PM
Never get involved in a land war in Asia ** -- Hokerer 01/07/2020 9:30PM

LOL, that hasn't been a thing for a long time now. ** -- HokieNoVA 01/07/2020 9:41PM
Better than no chance if US soldiers are killed. Much better. ** -- HokieJay 01/07/2020 8:27PM
0.0% of getting through the house. Those grave stones -- CochraneResident 01/07/2020 8:32PM
If so the current majority will be bye bye soon ** -- jdkhokie 01/07/2020 8:34PM
Enlist. Send us a postcard. ** -- CochraneResident 01/07/2020 8:44PM
You are a bit of a dick. Grow up. ** -- psychobilly 01/07/2020 9:22PM
He’s not wrong about the House though. The Senate would be no slam dunk. ** -- CPRVHokie 01/08/2020 07:12AM
I agree, he's not wrong, but his replies definitely belong on the UWS board -- CLThokie7 01/08/2020 08:05AM
Wrong. They get nuked but political discussions, even civil ones, don’t -- CPRVHokie 01/08/2020 10:52AM
