Yes, this is a true story from the American frontier. I got it first-hand from my grandmother who was there as the young schoolteacher in a one-room schoolhouse. All kids brought guns every day.

So they wrapped it up, declared victory, and demanded a ceasefire.
Iran agreed because they too have been badly shaken through Israeli covert warfare and their own air defense all but collapsed.
The can will only be kicked down the road, and both sides will start rebuilding, and making preparations and plans for the next round, the next war. This was only a skirmish at the end of the day ..."

In other words, if you want to see what is about to happen to New York City, look at what has happened to London over the last decade.
