The Costs Of Wars

After considering the objections to the USA's deployment of forces near Iran and the risk of a shooting war by such actions, I must ask what would have been the costs of France and Great Britain stopping Hitler at the Western border of Czechoslovakia (Which contained its best natural and augmented defenses) by sending divisions of troops there as compared with the costs (In blood and treasure) of World War II. It appears that such a deployment of forces would have put halt to his land grab there and if, and only if, like confrontations, on land and by sea, were executed in other such places against Hitler and, for that matter, Mussolini and Tojo.

I am a veteran of dangerous military and (Paid & unpaid) civilian service as directed towards the physical safety of my nation's People and that of its allies. I, quickly and greatly, discount the views about military risks inflicted by politicians, "journalists" and academics who have not put themselves at real and ongoing physical risks to protect their fellow humans.
