Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-CT) raised the alarm about the possibility of U.S. troop deployment to Iran after Secretary of State Marco Rubio briefed the Senate on the state of the conflict in the Middle East.
“I am more fearful than ever after this briefing that we may be putting boots on the ground and that troops from the United States may be necessary to accomplish objectives that the administration seems to have,” Blumenthal told reporters after the briefing.

A Democrat opinion is not worth posting.

You know Blumenthal has got to be pissed w/ Trump striking this military action and with Robert Duvall's passing the same week.
Both Duvall and Blumenthal were essentially actors: w/ the Senator lying about his resume. Why does he even have a job, again?
I so dislike the democratic party right now... they might as well be cheering for the enemy.

Of course there will be ground war. They are softening irans defense and then they are going to bring in the troops. Have you not seen the d day invasion in Saving Private Ryan?

I knew the “Veteran “ was a Dem before I clicked. Bleumenthal is trash. Surprised he’s not in the Epstein Files.

Your thread title states a Vietnam Vet is worried about a ground was in Iran, but you only quote Dick Blumenthal. Where’s the Vietnam Vet?

Why does bring a Vietnam vet make his opinion more relevant?

I also predict that there will be a ground war. Nothing quite as big as Iraq or Afghanistan but definitely some US troops on the ground to include conventional forces.
The difference between me and Dick is I support it.

This guy?
"He obtained at least five military deferments from 1965 to 1970 and took repeated steps that enabled him to avoid going to war, according to records.
The deferments allowed Mr. Blumenthal to complete his studies at Harvard; pursue a graduate fellowship in England; serve as a special assistant to The Washington Post’s publisher, Katharine Graham; and ultimately take a job in the Nixon White House.
In 1970, with his last deferment in jeopardy, he landed a coveted spot in the Marine Reserve, which virtually guaranteed that he would not be sent to Vietnam. He joined a unit in Washington that conducted drills and other exercises and focused on local projects, like fixing a campground and organizing a Toys for Tots drive."
Note, that this came from an NPR article.
Blumenthal misrepresents military service

We either will or we'll kick the can to a series of "not a wars" down the road to keep kicking the can. (And keep the missile money rolling)

Based on what, the two Democratic presidents who started and built up the Vietnam presence?
We got out of Vietnam under Nixon.

That's my concern. I'm cautiously optimistic right now but this could bog down and we'll start hearing "Well, it doesn't matter how we got here, we have to finish it."
I'm not predicting that but this is the most volatile, unpredictable region on the planet. We can plan, but most plans are toast after the fighting starts. There is risk here, and that's ok, but we shouldn't pretend there isn't any.
