"So what? What part of the Constitution are our guys protecting in Syria and Iraq?"

Preamble of the Constitution:

"We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, PROVIDE FOR THE COMMON DEFENSE, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

I can make a very good case that it is in our National interests (or provide for the common defense) to have a stable Syria/Iraq. If you want to get into that conversation that's a whole other thread/post.

"This illusion of having foreign welfare to Iraq and Syria, is only holding out the inevitable actions that should play out."

You must be responding to someone else because nowhere did I talk about giving foreign welfare to Iraq and Syria. I talked about having bases there to keep stability and provide rapid reaction forces in case the next ISIS pops up. I never talked about building roads/schools/etc... Let the U.N. do that.

That is welfare. Just as the bases in Japan and Germany, and such. All of that is foreign welfare. Welfare creates dependency. Trump ran on cutting foreign welfare.
