What about all the other radical Islamists who want to kill us? The crazy Muslims are everywhere. Where do we send troops?
The best thing we can do is fight them with sane immigration policies.
I agree, and that’s probably the best response yet.
We’ll be fighting them both here and there before it’s over.
I would prefer to have mostly troops from Arab countries fighting them over there, but so far I haven’t seen many willing to actually do it. Even though their countries are at stake.
We trained and supplied the Iraqi army, they threw down their guns and ran at the first shots. Arguably that was because their leadership had been wiped out.
We spent some 500 million and trained a whole 5 people...
Obama has not effectively dealt with this at all. Bombing empty buildings at 2am doesn’t do a lot of damage. Refusing to hit a group gathered outside a large city, preparing to attack, was an incredibly bad idea. They sat out there in the open for at least 2 weeks, Obama did nothing, So they took over the city.
Now he’s bringing in “refugees” who we know are infested with ISIS fighters.
You’re right, we’ll end up fighting them here and over there, whether we send troops now or not.
This article does have some good points. Our military has been gutted, the DOD has been trying to cut the numbers down to WWII levels for the past year, morale is bad, training is not what it once was, I’m not sure out guys are actually ready for a real fight.
