media calling him Secretary of War, despite that not being a thing
It’s more honest than secretary of defense.
That’s what makes you upset?
If Israel can carpet bomb and genocide Gaza with impunity, why the US would lose the opportunity to do the same
Because they weren’t already killing enough kids?
Department of Defense War Death
Woke: precision Conservative: fat finger
They can’t aim anyways, so who cares?!

I honestly don’t believe the US could actually sustain a war. We have lots of fancy toys but no manufacturing capacity. They’d get take out sooner or later and can’t be replaced without exotic and hard to manufacturer parts.

depends on what’s your definition of “war.” we were in afghanistan for 20+ years? but yea, keeping up like it’s going now…no chance. if iran manages to fuck up the oil supply for long enough, it would have a domino effect on the world’s ability to do anything, let alone do war

I might not mean they are running out, it probably means they’ve obtained air superiority so they are switching to cheaper munitions that slow bombers can carry.

The US have had air superiority everywhere except Kuwait. Iran had limited air defense systems and just a handful of operational F-14’s from the 70’s when the war broke out. The US just lacks the ability to use hundreds of $10,000,000 missiles a day for longer than a few weeks.
