@Fatalerror300 As for Vietnamn. Don't use the words "couldn't even" when describing American's lost in Vietnamn. The Vietnamnese were not a bunch monkeys who just jump down on their enemies. They were aided by the Soviet in weaponry and China in supplies. They developed vadvanced tactics very well adepted to their environment. It's not just the willingness to fight. It all comes down to fighting techniques in the end. Again, don't look down on the Vietnamnese, you gotta alot to learn from them.

@Fatalerror300 All you remember is Vietnamn War after WW II? God, you really need history lessons, up until now. How do you explain Gulf War, Afgan War, Iraq War? It's all about one's willingness to fight? What the Japanese Empire during WW II? Do you know how courageously stupid they were? You can judge the Japanese troops during WW II in whatever way you like it, but what is for certain is that their willingness to fight is second to none.

@william7476 Your very wrong Will. The US has advanced weaponry, skilled fighting techniques and tatctical maneuvers but they haven't won any wars since World War 2. They couldnt even beat the viet cong.. not to mention a bunch of modern day persians with rusty Ak's and scandals. USA cant win wars for shit anymore. Its all about willingness to fight mate.

@william7476 Of course Iran would have more casualties.The difference is that Iran must defend to survive.On the other hand the motive for US soldiers will change in time.Look I don't like war.Greeks had so many wars in the past that now we hate them.Ofcourse if we have to we will do it.But when you see that everything is for the money and petrol and thousands of humans ends dead,you get angry.And the Iranian will turn very angry.The war nowadays can be inside cities.That would be really bad.

@LakedemonP Actually F-22 is designed to safe guard air passage (the role of fighter plane) rather than play the role of a attacking plane or a bomber. If an army refuse to follow command simply because the sustain of casualties then such army is more of a mob rather than professional military force. Of course morale is important, but such morale will not be shaken simply because of the death of a few thousands. And beside, who would suffer more casualties in the war, the U.S. or Iran?
