You “honor” the soldiers by turning them loose and letting them clean house, once and for all.

Leave the Islamic world with one big fear...that America MIGHT come back if they don’t behave.

[Jacquerie]

<>The Islamic resurgence has placed us in a state of permanent war.<>

Quite right. It is past time for a declaration of war against islam. Eradicate it from our land.

[Clutch Martin]

It is my understanding that a war must be declared and approved by Congress. This police action was. However, there was a caveat attached and that was restraint and some very odd Rules of Engagement, especially for the Marines who are not trained to hold back. It’s just at that point I knew that although it had been approved this was not a war we should be engaged in, primarily because we have our own resources to draw from in the areas of strategic stockpiles of fuels, Metals, Etc. I am not sure why we’re there, except to try and maintain some stabilization in an area which has been unstable for centuries.

I do not see an end nor an exit strategy.

It is not “We The People” that start war but we are responsible to finish them. The “Military Industrial Complex” as IKE called it or Swamp, Globalists.... are the ones that want war for their own profits.

We mourn the loss to those we knew, the ones that got caught up in the profit scheme of the super rich.

God Bless America

Win or go home.

[lgjhn23]

“..Win or go home....”

Amen, Bro.
Don’t engage, IF the overall intentions are not to win.

[Carl Vehse]

If the so-called military and political leaders are not willing to use nuclear weapons in a declared war against the enemy, then they should not be allowed to serve up American fathers and sons as cannon fodder in restrictive-rules-of-engagement farces for their own advancement in military rank or in re-election (or for the profits of their military-industrial supporters).

[onedoug]

Win wars?

Sorry. We haven’t had enough practice since WWII.

[ClearCase_guy]

I don’t believe in nation building.

I think we should leave them alone, if they leave us alone.

And if they don’t leave us alone, I think we should mess them up something fierce and then walk away and let them spend a century putting themselves back together.

[Seruzawa]

The war is expected to be endless. No matter we do in the ME it will turn out badly. It has ever been thus. The unending tribal conflicts will never be solved militarily.

Bring the troops home now. There is no chance of a good result.

[null and void]

We honor them by ending the war with victory.

Victory, accept no substitutes.

On the Inhabitants of the Middle East

200 years from now, I want their children's children's children's children to cower and cringe in fear whenever they hear the sounds of jet engines overhead because their legends tell of fire from the sky.

I want them to hide in dark caves and holes in the earth, shivering with terror whenever they hear the roar of diesel engines because the tales of their ancestors talk about metal monsters crawling over the earth, spitting death and destruction.

I want their mothers to be able to admonish them with "If you don't behave, the Pale Destroyers will come for you", and that will be enough to reduce them to quivering obeisance.

I want the annihilation to be so complete that their mythology will tell them of the day of judgment when the stern gods from across the sea .. the powerful 'Mericans .. destroyed their forefathers' wickedness.

Bingo!

By not having America in constant war

[liberalism is suicide]

The US government would do well to defend our own borders than to worry about other countries.

[JoeFromSidney]

Sounds like the kind of society Robert Heinlein portrayed in Starship Troopers.

“Win or go home.”

Actually, it should be have a plan to win before you start, or don’t start it at all. We have George W. BOOSH to thank for the ME mess. Because he dicked around for years with a no-win strategy, giving rise to Obola and an even less coherent ME strategy. We have to support our ally, Israel, but that should be our limit, other than perhaps bombing the $hit out of Iran’s nuclear facilities. We should not waste one more drop of our young people’s blood nor another effing dime on the “Arab World.” Our mission should be to simply make it impossible for a single one of them to migrate beyond the bounds of Africa. Europe is gone, because the Muzzies there are procreating 24/7, and will be the majority in a couple of decades.
