This may be recent history, but I was just thinking about what would happen if the United States went full-on war against Islamic State. I'm not talking about just drone strikes and supporting the Iraqis and Kurds and the Syrian rebels, but an actual Gulf War-like war with tanks and ground forces and the like.

Would such a thing be possible now? Or will there have to be some sort of previous PODs before Americans back a war in the Middle East?
