There's currently less than 100k in Iraq. There is 94k in Afighanistan. So figure like 200k troops total.

Then figure the US Marines, the smallest branch, has some 400k members. Do the math. If we need to deploy two hundred thousand troops into Iran, we can. Not to mention we already have the infrastructure - Iran is surrounded by GASP Iraq and Afghanistan.... And all of our troops there.

Trust me, if we needed to.... We could place millions of troops into another country if given enough time.
