Good article. My question is "Will the Rules Of Engagement be changed?" Did COIN bring about the social view change toward America that Petraeus was aiming for develop? Will our men and women in the service become the targets again? Right now ISIS is the enemy. Will ISIS become the good guys against the infidels?

Should B. Hussein Obama be Impeached before or after the Wisconsin National Guard is sent back to Iraq or Afghanistan?

The Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule is as follows:

“1.) ALWAYS STAND DOWN WHEN MUSLIMS ATTACK,

2.) WAIT FOR THE MUSLIMS TO FINISH THEIR BLOOD SPORT KILLING, AND

3.) THEN DO NOTHING.”

Since September 11, 2012, Obama has:

* Invoked the field-tested, Clinton-Obama Benghazi Rule for the US in order to allow the ongoing genocide of Christians, and Yazidis in current US Ally Iraq;

* Refused to keep his Word on his Redline in Syria;

* Released the GITMO FIVE to supervise the rapid growth of ISIS;

* Repeatedly proclaimed that HIS “American People” are war weary;

* Ordered the dismissing of front-line US Military Officers;

* Ordered the downsizing of the US Military to that of pre-WW2 levels;

* Repeatedly promised to unilaterally quit fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan; and

* Invested more hours in playing Golf than visits to the Pentagon.

If Muslim Hussein Obama were to be forced to resign today, would Catholic Joe Biden revoke the Benghazi Rule co-authored by Hillary Clinton and Hussein Obama, and bring the fight to ISIS?

Our military could easily handle (defeat/destroy/conquer/annihilate/etc.) any terrorist or state sponsored army on the planet. The problem isn’t with the military. The problem is with our political leadership which also controls the military.

It sounds stupid, but it wasn’t until my son was deployed to afghanistan that it dawned on me that what controlled him and his unit wasn’t the Army or generals, but it was politicians. Until we the people clean house and get America’s political house in order our military will be hampered by things like unobtainable ROE and objectives. We have the best trained and best equiped military of all times but it’s leadership is cutoff by political ineptitude.

I come from a long line of patriots who have served in the United States military. My father served in Korea. His brothers served in WWII. I served during the Cold War. My son was an infantryman in Afghanistan. However, I would not recommend ANYONE volunteering for service in any branch of the US military until our political leadership is held accountable to the Constitution and We the People.

How does it feel to fight and die for a cause that the Commander in Chief doesn’t believe in? (and actively supports and arms the enemy)

Assuming SP4, since all the rest went buh-bye by the early 80's. No, up or out, in the Guard.

We had no SP4's even close to 30.
