Pete Hegseth Claims U.S. Can Fight Iran War 'Easily For As Long As We Need To'
Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth on Wednesday seemed to dismiss reported concerns about the U.S.'s diminishing stockpile of munitions, claiming that the U.S. can continue to fight this war "easily as long as we need to."
"As President Trump said, more and larger waves are coming. We are just getting started," he said. "We are accelerating, not decelerating. Iran's capabilities are evaporating by the hour, while American strength grows fiercer, smarter and utterly dominant."
"We used more exquisite standoff munitions at the start, but no longer need to. Our stockpiles of those, as well as Patriots, remains extremely strong. The enemy can no longer shoot the volume of missiles they once did, not even close," he continued. "We can sustain this fight easily for as long as we need to," he continued.
Dan Caine, the chair of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, echoed Hegseth, noting that the U.S. "has sufficient precision munitions for the task at hand, both on the offense and defense."

Guys with zero masculinity that think acting tough impresses people. Meanwhile real people take care of their own. There is no other virtue.
Fuck this America last Administration.

Throwing "common soldiers" into a meat grinder like they're cosplaying at Gettysburg is not the same as fighting an insurgency.
Damn, this exact scenario was part of a wargame back in the 90's, and even the CIA found it a failure. And they don't care how many American lives are lost if they think they can politically take over a profitable country.
I'm thinking Kegsbreath is either really planning on bringing his "Warrior" God back to take the world back to the Bronze Age, or he got the Red Team playbook on how the insurgents can win.
