You want to understand what it would actually cost to invade Iran? Not the talking-head version, not the cable news version — the real breakdown. Today I'm going deep on the military, economic, and political realities of a ground war in Iran, and I'm going to give you numbers that I promise you're not hearing anywhere else.

What you'll hear:
David maps Iran's terrain against Iraq and Afghanistan — and explains why the comparison isn't even close
The 500,000-to-1-million troop estimate, what that means for a military draft, and where those troops would come from
How oil prices, a $39 trillion debt load, and supply chain fragility set the stage for potential economic collapse
Why America's coalition for this war is shrinking fast — and why we may be going in alone
David's honest assessment of the MAGA coalition fracturing in real time
A sober, earned take on what "mission success" in Iran would actually have to look like

This is the flash bang of truth, straight. No filter, no agenda — just 22 years of combat experience applied to the biggest military question of our time.
