Someone might ALSO do it to try and slow the systematic slaughter of the Christians in Iraq - You know, the thousands of men, women and children - CHRISTIANS - whose HOMELAND is Iraq, where they've lived for some 3,000 years and BEEN CHRISTIANS for 2,000 years -
You know, the ones that OUR administration has turned it's back on and refuses to help - after doing not one thing to stop ISIS from raging into Iraq - into Mosul - giving them hundreds of American MRAPS, allowing them to 'capture' tens of thousands of AMERICAN rifles/rockets/ammo from a warehouse that just happened not to have anyone guarding it that particular night - allowing them to build up a real military force with cart blanche access...
You know - The Christians that were chased onto the mountain top, hundreds slaughtered, and beheaded - including children - along the way, - trapped by Isis - dying from starvation and dehydration - while we did NOTHING? -
You know - the ancient Chaldean CHRISTIANS, (who still speak ancient Arabic), who have now gotten off the mountain but are still not far from Mosul, in a huge 'tent city' and surrounded with immanent attack, who have plead for aid - to no avail?
You know - of course you do...NOT
There ARE some people, especially vets from Iraq and Afghanistan who don't have blinders on - who will put it on the line once again to protect the innocents - especially since their plight is due to our abandonment...which is also an abandonment of all the fighting ans sacrifice of our troops - a real slap in the face.
Just maybe some of the vets feel SOMEONE should help these people...and not becasue they are looking for the "THRILL TO KILL"
Of course you know - or are you just an
Good rant, fact is, there could be a number of reasons for someone to do this, I only offered one perspective, I could offer others.
Well, I’m in Iraq and I can assure you the US is doing ‘something’ to protect the civilians in Iraq (all types). We’re blowing the crap out of ISIS 24/7 using coordinated strike OPs.
If you’d kept up on current events you’d have read that there are many nations in Iraq now staging into former bases with more troops arriving every week. IMO the 2009 withdrawl is essentially reversed.
