It's not a given if you haven't considered that. And it's not like you're gonna go out, quickly win a firefight with a bunch of leftists wearing leftist uniforms, then go home and crack a beer and throw some burgers on the grill.
I think it would be worse than Iraq, personally. It certainly wouldn't be Ronald Reagan riding a T-Rex w/ F-16's blowing up things in the background. It would be trying to manage the semblance of normality in protracted chaos, loss of all the comforts which make us think this is such a great place, and the rise of awareness at what it means to be a fragile human being. The best scenario would be an insurgency. The worst... I don't think we can truly imagine it.
