A U.S. veteran has voiced strong opposition to military action in Iran, calling out the familiar pattern of "boots on the ground," air strikes and regime change. Speaking from experience, he noted the toll of "folded flags" and the enrichment of contractors, with veterans returning traumatized. He cited Iraq and Afghanistan as examples of escalation from precision strikes to occupation, ending in tragedy. "We sure as hell can't fix other people's backyards when ours is on fire," he said, advocating for a focus on domestic issues.
