Well, Biden made it. He has his war based upon attacks while he chastises Israel for doing the exact same thing for not using restraint. Typical liberal reaction. Say one thing, do another, then bail after people die. And almost always with our tail between our legs. (Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan...)

You can’t fight terrorists with combat. You play into their game as they are overjoyed to die for their religion and getting honored for making us die for their diety. Stupid.

“I have a crazy idea. If we don’t have troops in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, then troops can’t get killed there...”

Hey, hey... don’t confuse the idiots of Bidet&Co with facts and common sense. That’s not fair!

Imagine what those 85+ lovely bombs could have done to the Iranian oil refineries ...

Destroy our economy more?

Your thoughts are overly simplistic and juvenile.
Typical geriatric FR kill ‘em all meaningless posting.

If we apply deep cuts to social security and send the savings to the Dept of Defense, we can chase those sandal wearing demons away from our oil.

After the waste of Afghanistan and Iraq, we don’t have much to complain about. The cheerleading about those two wars and the trillions spent while this cost a few million? Kinda embarrassing.

“Wonder what the whole operation works out to in terms of taxpayer dollars per terrorist killed?”

*************

One thing for sure, the amount we spent on this operation was wildly asymmetrical. Incredibly expensive weapons, logistics and resources are being spent to retaliate against relatively primitive and low cost threats.

But the MIC is quite happy this morning.

“We’re using $2m missiles to shoot down $20,000 drones. How long can that last?”

*************

A few keystrokes will pay for that. The money printing machine runs 24X7. /sarc

It’s all for show

USA missles cost hundreds of thousands each to destroy tents ⛺️ you can buy on Amazon for 50$

As a nation we are becoming weak

The university students are not in your side. They are dumb people very dumb

Don’t ever relinquish your guns.

They will come after you if you do relinquish them

The more this administration pushes for WWIII the more it proves they don’t love their kids or grandchildren.

If we don’t have troops in Iraq, Syria, and Jordan, then troops can’t get killed there…

_____________________________________________________

That’s absolutely unacceptable to the Neo-Cons on FR. Not only must we have troops almost everywhere, we must cry “foul!” and bomb anyone who resists the efforts to imperialize.

That was sure nice of the enemy to provide an exact body count so quickly. Maybe with that kind of cooperation, we could learn to become good friends!

That’s a great idea! Blow up their oil refineries. I would love to pay seven dollars a gallon.

Reminiscent of the air war over VietNam. Fleets of B52s bombing huts and tunnels in the jungle.
