What is the fucking objective? Take Tehran?

OK, that'll need half a million troops with pre-staged, adequate supply lines which don't exist and won't exist any time soon.

And, say that works and you take the capital, what then?

Sounds like Trump is going to half-ass a ground invasion and get a bunch of soldiers killed for no reason.
