"RACHEL CAMPOS-DUFFY: So, the president made a case for Operation Midnight Hammer, saying, We're going to do this operation and then we're not going to have to do anything else. You remember, there was a lot of bragging about that. I think most people, even those who were skeptical of that operation, going in and doing that at the end were like, OK, I can deal with this because I don't want a greater war."
"I just want to mention, you know, I do feel sorry for the protesters. Again, it's not clear to me that doing this move, potentially going to war is necessarily going to help the protesters. I'd like to think that was true. Explain to me why. Explain to me why I should risk my military-aged boys potentially going into another war in the Middle East. I thought we were done with that."
A Wall Street Journal report prompted discussion about President Trump weighing an initial limited military strike on Iran. A Fox News host argued that the president must better justify any kinetic military action in terms of American interest. The host expressed sympathy for protesters and questioned whether a strike would aid them. The host also said that risking military-aged American men in another Middle East war requires a clear explanation of national interest. References to past operations and concerns about avoiding a larger war framed the skepticism about immediate military escalation.
