Please state ALL of your credentials and how many of the meetings with the generals, the president, etc. YOU were party to.

Then explain just HOW you managed to get those 5 stars and which battles you plotted out and won...by name and dates.

And then state WHY we don't just kill of ALL of the moronic American drug addicts, which WOULD, of course, stop the flow of ALL illicit drugs into this nation. After all, that's a lot easier than salting the earth in Mexico, parts of the USA, Afghanistan, and whatever other nation that sh*t is coming from. ;^)

What everyone is missing in the speech is not that we are sending thousands of troops (never mentioned) but Pakistan is on notice. This will be a war, partially “fought” by economic means. This all that Pakistan and others care about. Imagine, Rex telling Pakistan that if they harbor anymore terrorists, funding will be cut off as well as coal, oil, etc. from USA and India to them. India will act like China did to stop NK, by stopping exports to them. Watch over the next several weeks, economic sanctions starting to develop and then ISIS will be forced to stay in Afghanistan where they will be killed by our and Afgan troops with new ROE.

There is an unlimited amount of terrorist there we could stay a 1000 years and as soon as we leave....same.

Why not just go now as he promised?

What an utter waste of American lives for that 3rd world sh*thole.
How about just protecting our borders and better vetting for those who come here and let the terrorists have Afghanistan as they’ve had for a thousand of year.

So we should just pull-out like Iraq and VN?

WE’VE had bases in Korea and Germany for 70 yes to protect our and allies interests.

How would I know that?

If I knew how many we are going to kill, in advance, I'd also know all of what is about to happen everywhere, for all time.

Are you under the misconception that I'm GOD? LOL

Please get someone with better reading comprehension that you have, to read ALL of my posts and explain them, in even simpler word ( which I can’t do ), to you.

We need to be uniting and fighting the swamp instead of going after others motives opposing more war. I do know Im not smart enough to know what motives other people have. But one thing for sure we need BLM and antifa fighting each other instead of dividing America.

Not everyone supports Trumps plan of adding troops in the Afghanistan cesspool! I’ve become skeptical rather than naive. Optional wars are fought to make rich people richer, while they convince us fodder to march off for medals.

I favored destroying Afghanistan in 2002 and strongly opposed getting involved in Iraq. We need to destroy those who would destroy us, and forget fighting PC wars and wars for neocons. America first and MAGA

I don’t have a defeatist attitude, I am a realist.

There is only one thing in Afghanistan that is worthy of our military’s attention, and that is the poppy fields(which they guard). Those poppy fields cause thousands of American deaths a year. Those soldiers will die for them.

Otherwise, pull the troops out and let the hellhole be the hellhole it has always been. We aren’t going to convert them to Christianity and make them a democratic nation. Nothing we do will make any difference long term in Afghanistan except for a scorched earth policy regarding their narcotic industry.

Let’s look at it this way... You’re a brilliant person. Say it was like making a bet. Say the over under was 20 million terrorist killed. Would you take the over or the under for a hundred bucks?

At least you now admit to being somewhat of a moron. :-)

You and the very few nay sayers on this thread, are posting the way that LEFTIES do.....EMOTIONALLY and from your own weird biases; NOT with any education, understanding,nor rationality.

You lose someone close, who was a stupid junkie?
