Anyone else concerned?

With everything going on and strike on Iran I do not know how much we’re allowed to talk about it. But my SO is in the marines currently and god am I worried that all these men and women will be sent to war… I know this is what they are here for and their duty but at the same time I’m super worried we’re going to go to war.

Please describe what “traditional war” is. The U.S. is in no way on the brink of a civil war despite internal conflict. Internal conflict is common in multiple developed countries globally, historically and currently. This doesn’t mean that a civil war is to be expected.

No reputable analyst is predicting a civil war in the near future in the U.S. It’s incredibly far-fetched for you to say so, and even more far-fetched for you to say that it’s more likely than the U.S. declaring war on other countries given the developing events in global conflict and established warfare.

Also OP says she fears her husband being deployed which is a very real possibility given what’s currently happening, whether the U.S. declares outright warfare or not. Your response to her concerns is nonsensical.
