22. No invasion
It's not just a matter of us needing another half-million troops, which we do, and would need to draft.

Training and equipping these would take at a bare minimum two years.

Further, combat in Iraq ran over a billion a day. War with Iran would be about four times that at least and would go on for god knows how long.

The US simply CANNOT afford to do this.
