If MAGA is going to save the country, are they going to volunteer to join the military or if older encourage their children to do so? I heard that an American boots on the ground invasion in Iran requires at least 500,000 soldiers.
'Not what we voted for': Some MAGA voices warn Iran backlash will only grow the longer the war lasts
President Trump's decision to carry out strikes on Iran has further exposed a fracture among some of the president's fiercest supporters inside MAGA world.abcnews.com
...
Since the first strike last week, Trump's actions in Iran have faced stark criticism from some of the most popular voices in MAGA media who helped boost his 2024 campaign, ranging from longtime adviser Steve Bannon to more recent converts like conservative media personalities Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly.
...
"They tell us it's regime change, but not regime change. It's a war, but it's not a war. But we can't rule out boots on the ground. And if it we want it to be a forever war, it can be a forever war, but it's not a forever war," Winter said. "There have been no publicly made comments in the last four days to give me any comfort that this is not going to turn into [a forever war]."
...
Loomer, who has emerged as one of the most influential pro-Trump voices, said the president also asked her how the Iran strikes were going over with his supporters. "What are people saying about it? I believe there's overwhelming support for this," she said Trump asked.
Loomer agreed with the president but told him there were "some people who aren't happy about it, but they're the general misfits," specifically referring to Tucker Carlson, who had earlier that day told ABC News' Jonathan Karl that the strikes were "absolutely disgusting and evil."
...
Days later, Trump told ABC Jonathan Karl, "Tucker has lost his way" and that he "knew that a long time ago, and he's not MAGA. MAGA is saving our country. MAGA is making our country great again. MAGA is America first, and Tucker is none of those things. And Tucker is really not smart enough to understand that."
...
"This is all b-------, doomer, black pilled, liberal media b------- designed to fracture you before an election, to drive down approval ratings and voter enthusiasm, so Republicans lose and Donald Trump can get impeached," podcaster and former FBI deputy director Dan Bongino said on his show this week. "That is all this is."
...
Given the gravity of the issue, Winters said she has been surprised that the outcry from the base hasn't been even more forceful.
"The debate over the Epstein files created more political blowback on the administration than what they're doing in Iran, standing on the brink of a potential forever war," she said.
"And seeing the base not more outrageous about that -- it's pretty wild, because that's a tenant that's foundational to MAGA."
Trump has privately shown serious interest in U.S. ground troops in Iran
The president’s private comments have not focused on a large-scale ground invasion of Iran, but rather on the idea of a small contingent of U.S. troops that would be used for specific strategic purposes, sources say.

Does Trump not know or rather not know that Israel is still doing battle in Gaza after two years and supposedly a cease fire? It will be best to forget about boots on the ground in Iran.
"Hamas looks at the ceasefire as a time to regroup, to fight against us," said Lt Col Nadav Shoshani, spokesman for the Israel Defence Forces (IDF). "This is why it's crucial to see them disarmed because they've made it clear that if they have weapons, they will use them sometime in the future."
The Israeli army says there are daily attacks against its forces by Hamas. Four Israeli soldiers have been killed since the ceasefire began.
Hamas, in turn, points to repeated Israeli attacks, which Gaza's Health Ministry says have killed 603 Palestinians.
Hamas is reasserting control in Gaza despite its heavy losses fighting Israel
Gazans say Hamas is again extending its control over security, tax revenue and government services.
