By having the US Military offer to wipe out new recruit's debt if they enlist.

Quote:

The narrative war on the domestic American front has already failed. The Pentagon has not been able to sell this war to the American public because the war has been rhetorically fused with Israel's operations in Gaza, and the American public rejects the fusion.

Recruitment numbers are running below what a ground invasion of Iran would require. Estimates for a successful ground campaign against Iran's 31 provincial commands and its Mosaic Defense Doctrine run between 750 thousand and 1.5 million American troops. The current active US Army stands at roughly 452 thousand. The math does not work, obviously.

Based on American history, however, there is a path forward. Not conscription or a draft in a world war-era sense, but enlistment through a "debt forgiveness program."

No mention has been made of Israel helping with an invasion.

This is an editorial and it carries no weight. It's an intentionally inflamatory opinion, likely from a left wing nut job over in Israel trying to stir the pot over in the U.S.

This statement sounds like wishful thinking to my ear. The most steadfast critics who always tie "rhetoric" of every issue back to their obsession with Isreal really want to believe this. I think this statement is very debatable.

Let's not forget that Iran, and honestly Israel too as demonstrated by the OP source, have done their fair share of conflating Israel's conflict with tIranian proxies with what the U.S. is doing with Iran because they know that it will resonate with the folks mentioned above.
