FUN FACT: In 2006, the Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) had a meeting with then-President George W. Bush and his top national security advisers in which they explained how insanely stupid it was to initiate a war against Iran. That was when there tens of thousands of combat troops sandwiching Iran in neighboring Afghanistan and Iraq. Today, we have no such footprint and the US military's logistical crisis is worst than it was 20 years ago.
