Would you be saying that if he agreed with you?
That line is old and defunct.
Old, yes. Most politicians aren't very original. But that works out alright because sooner or later old lines become relevant again.
They are here as we speak.
Not in great numbers, though.
This is a recurring problem. Men who fought in the First World War wanted to get home. Then years later, maybe some of them thought if we'd stayed in France or Germany their sons might not have had to fight another war. Same thing with soldiers who fought against Saddam having to go back to fight ISIS. I can't fault or condemn or feel superior to this Congressman for wondering about whether we'll have to send troops back to Syria some day. Hardly anybody wants American troops to stay in the Middle East forever, but if we are forced to go back soon, how is this latest withdrawal going to look?
If he agreed with me he would not be simple minded. He would be thinking instead of spouting a defunct meme from 14 years ago.
We have wide open borders and neither one of us knows how many of those jihadis are in this country.
I appreciate this man’s service, but that does not make what he says a must to believe or necessarily right at this time.
