A commander doesn’t have much choice either way since it’s the political leadership (aka Trump) that starts wars. A competent president would probably not have started this war, but they’d have likely started other wars and ran them competently.

Except for else everyone involved. A competent command wouldn’t have started this war.

Every war is a policy failure
Was going to say…
The only thing worse than Americans picking a fight with Iran and losing is them winning.
Imagine another Libya or Syria or Gaza in a country as big as Iran.
