The US army's commander in Europe has accused Russia of using its military campaign in Syria as a "live-fire training opportunity". Lt Gen Ben Hodges said Russia's "disregard for civilian casualties... is not the conduct of a nation that wants to be treated like a superpower".

“Get him outta here... Get him outta here...”
Gotta practice somewhere, I say.
Yup.
So this “general” has no clue what the purpose of war is! Not surprising!
And no one has a problem with that other than Obama and his boot-lickers.
Hodges definitely seems to be an obamasexual plant.
And what about a nation that creates, finances, and arms a rebel movement like ISIS, Al Qeida, Al Nusra, or the FSA?
This general is a traitor to America, he sided with the exact group that attacked us on 9/11. To top it off, he just flipped off the entire US 8th Air Force of WWII.
Thank god the Russians bombed the snot out of them.
Sounds like the General is more upset that the Jihadist are getting sliced and diced, than when the Jihadist were butchering the Christians.
Time for this General to get out. He’s completely out of his mind.
Just like we did in Iraq.
He spoke out against Brexit too so I hope he goes out with obama.
Total Obama ass wiper..no wonder he was promoted to 4 stars.
Meh they like us would rather fight jihadis in someone else cities. Europeans are apparently not that smart.
There doesn’t seem to be many redeeming qualities there: Assad backed forces, Jihadists, Russians, I hate that our Government has apparently teamed up with the same Jihadists that want to kill Americans and are killing Christians and others all over the Middle East, Europe, and here.
I was doing a little reading and studying of Revelations lately. The forth horse of the Apacolypse - a pale horse. Interestingly the original word can be translated as green.
So the 4 colors of the 4 horses are: Red, Black, White, Green. Almost all of the flags of the Arab countries are those colors. Is this a coincidence?
Christians are being beheaded with swords, and martyred. We are truly living in trying times. So I just pray daily for deliverance from evil for our country and others.
Well, duh!, Hodges. Just as we did, whether intentionally or not, in GWI and II.
Surprised he didn’t point out Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union in Spain during the Spanish Civil War.
Yes, they used Syria for live fire training, and they used it for marketing to demonstrate the effectiveness of their weapons. I’m okay with both because they were mainly using it as an opportunity to kill large numbers of terrorists - inherently evil people who burn Christians in cages, sell Yazidi women as sex slaves, behead many of the children they don’t use to deliver explosives, and send riflemen into Paris concerts and truck drivers into Christmas markets to kill innocents.
Given the scope of evil Assad was facing, a balance of concern between the civilian casualties from their actions and the civilian casualties from not acting was appropriate. I’m not usually a fan of Russia, but I cheer for them when they are right.
Drain the swamp...start with Hodges.
