What have we accomplished so far?
What specifically do you want us to do in the region?
Replying beat everyone up or blowing everyone up doesn’t cut it in reality.
Do you have answers or are you just continue to huff and puff tough guy talk?
You never answered the “the huff and puff tough guy talk” like why didn’t you serve your country in uniform? If you had you would have understood the world a lot better.
The world is made of lovely, charming people who would happily cut your throat if they were in charge. The whole reason we have survived as a free and prosperous nation is because we have the best and most effective expeditionary forces at our disposal. Minus you, of course.
Avoid the Middle East and they come here to kill us - they already demonstrated that. If Iran gets nuclear weapons, millions die because those primitives will use them.
Didn’t you learn anything from WWII ? We thought that avoiding the European and Pacific situation could keep us out of foreign entanglements and we could just watch while eating popcorn. War came to us anyway and many more of our and the world’s young men paid because we didn’t crush evil when it first emerged.
Hiding under our beds won’t protect us. Getting out and killing them in their beds will.
