Obama is the first president to serve eight years and preside over American wars during every single day of his tenure.

now thats a legacy
Just goes to show you that a Nobel Peace Prize ain’t worth sh!t these days, eh?
They pinned Vietnam on Nixon as the “first military defeat of the US Military.”
Wow, and he must have been really good at it, because as soon as he took over....all the protesting stopped!
Now that Trump takes over, they already have anti war signs made for protests, they had them out in the WhineyWoman protests...
I would wager the main objective for Mattis to go to the office yesterday was to issue new RoE.
Probably the first president to use strategic bombers to bomb countries with whom we are not at war, in his last 48 hours in office
Nobel Peace Prize Committee hit it big on that one!
Like - no more launching B-2 bombers to fly 12,000 miles to bomb tents in a country with which we are not legally at war
Now ISIS can join the wymyns anti war protests
Since that us about the only war I see Trump fighting in the near term
Time Magazine’s Man Of The Year?
More like for the boots on the ground. We can go all over the place of what else could have been done to augment the B2 bombing raid but the most important would have been to create a new Road to Basra.
From libya?
That wouldn’t have been a road
More like another canal
And Trump will hand over the fighting (which has been going on for centuries between tribes) to the current leaders and tell them to “Have A Nice Day” and pull out.
Anyone want to bet that the MSMLSD will now start tallying deaths like on a score card for the deaths in Afghan/Iraq now that Trump is CIC?
The reports are that the rats were in a convoy out of the bombing area right after the attack. Another instance we had Hawks loitering and were not prepared to attack. Just like Benghazi.
Only Congress can declare War. Hasn’t been done since WWII. The new paradigm is eternal combat operations with as little sacrifice from the People as possible. Because that’s the only way to have eternal combat operations.
They may have pinned Vietnam on Nixon, but my recollection of history is the dems defunded support for South Vietnam.
The war was actually won at one point in time, which led to a major US force reduction. Walter Crookedkite started lying, which may have preceded the dems defunding it.
Anyway, the mess was in Fords hands at the end. He had the option of going back in. The option of sending the 4th Cav of the 25th ID to secure Tan Son Nhut AB so the entire division could land was in the works, with the 4th Cav loaded and ready to go at Hickam.
Tan Son Nhut was still held by ARVN’s, but under attack, some of which was being done with F4’s from Da Nang, which was the scuttlebutt of the time.
And as history records it, Ford chose not to go back in.
What kind of idiot would arm ISIS to try to harm Assad in Syria when we were not even at war with Syria.
1. Globalists in the U.S. government like Lindsey Graham (R-Saudi Arabia) and John McCain (R-ISIS).
2. Israel.
