We're not, and we never will.

But hypothetically if it does happen what will your reaction be? Any long term behavioral changes to your schedule or business as usual?

(btw, Iran didn't bomb Saudi Arabia).

And to your poll I'm already a veteran.

That's a pretty bold and absolute statement to make...


Honestly, I would probably buy a little more food, ammo, water, keep the vehicle gas tanks at least half full, carry everywhere I can, and avoid large crowds and public events.

But that's just me and I see things differently than most.

Honestly that's good behavior to have even if nothing happens on the mainland here.

Saving up is not great for consumer activity but it can lead to rationing/ controlled consumption by the individual family.

In that way I guess war will be a good thing.

None of the above. I would protest, either with donations or in-person or both. And with my votes.

You need a choice that says something to the effect, "Barf."

Btw , yes they did through their proxies.

And I will cheer the destruction of the mad mullahs.

And I did my bit in Desert Storm.

How can you complain and support it online at the same time?

Too old to go back in the service now. I'm sure if found to be true, we could find another way besides going to war.
