Veterans ‘split’ over Iran strikes. Some see payback, others see another ‘forever war’
Veterans in the US have mixed views on the recent strikes against Iran. Some believe the operations are a form of payback for Iran's role in supporting proxies that have attacked American service members. Others are questioning the US strategy, wondering if there is a clear plan for the outcome of these operations.
President Donald Trump has mentioned that combat operations could last about a month, but a specific timeline has not been given. Further details on the situation and the perspectives of US veterans can be found through Task & Purpose, which has been following the developments and reporting on the views of those affected by the conflict.
