But that's a tiny fraction of what you saw in Afghanistan, in Iraq, thinking back to Vietnam, when you had so many.

of the armed forces being killed or really, really seriously injured and coming home, that if it seems unlikely, it's difficult to imagine the circumstances in which Donald Trump would ever agree to put boots on the ground and therefore potentially sustain far more casualties.

But I think
voice-verified
That is another key difference that we shouldn't overlook.
voice-verified
That shows you, doesn't it, Justin, I think, where the confusion is within all of this diplomatic process and why it's going to be so incredibly difficult to get it back on track.

Marco Rubio there is saying that it's the Iranians who broke the deal, the ceasefire deal, essentially, by launching missiles and drones against ships.
voice-verified
Well, the Iranians say that they were within their rights within the ceasefire deal to do that because...
voice-verified
They were the ones who were supposed to be administering the Strait of Hormuz and they're attacking ships that aren't going through the particular channel in the Strait that the Iranians want them to use.

So, I mean, this is a consequence of some very loose language in that memorandum of understanding, which was fudged in order to get both sides to agree to it.
voice-verified
And then, unsurprisingly, very quickly became unstuck because it wasn't absolutely clear what everybody had to stick to.
voice-verified
All along, Donald Trump also has been saying...
voice-verified
firstly, that the Iranians are sending signals that they want to negotiate and that he is happy to do so as well, that he would still prefer a negotiated outcome.
voice-verified
But I don't think we're any closer to seeing how that could possibly work than we were either when they signed that memorandum of understanding or when it started falling to bits.
voice-verified
And the shift in American politics on the left and on the right against Israel is absolutely remarkable.
voice-verified
And that's what's going to be the biggest change, I think, that's come out of this war with Iran, but also with what happened in Gaza and with anger on both sides of the political divide about that as well and with Bibi Netanyahu.
voice-verified
But we're looking at, I think, a generational change in the way America is going to be dealing with Israel.
voice-verified
It tends to be older politicians and commentators who still think that America should...
voice-verified
Stick by Israel, come what may, and continue to supply it with arms and billions of dollars every year.
voice-verified
And among younger activists at all parts of the political spectrum, you're hearing more and more anger about the way Israel's behaving, why it's unnecessary for America to be propping them up.
voice-verified
And of course, you know, in some quarters that spills over into really nasty anti-Semitism.
