“Americans are tired of sending their sons and daughters to some middle eastern $hithole to die and come home wounded and maimed only to have ISIS, the Taliban or whatever new version of Islamic nutcases take the place of the former governments.”

Trump wants to “kick ISIS’s ass”. So how is he gonna do that without sending our sons and daughters there to do it? Is he just going to drop more bombs? Just curious.

Let the people there, like the Russians, be on the ground.

Stop them here, because they are here now.

Pretty simple. Now that the pandora’s box has been opened, the job needs to be finished. The issue always was whether to open it or not, and that’s where Bush screwed up. Amd moron Jeb and Cruz and Rubio would love nothing more to get us involved in Syria next. In hindsight, the Bush family has screwed this country but good for 36 years and counting.

My Nam Vet. husband has said for years that he and all the other Vets knew they weren’t fighting to win a war in Nam. There’s a big difference in being at war and fighting a war to win. Trump knows this and he sees if we go in with a lot of men and power we are there to “WIN”. Not provide a point as Bush went in to prove and failed.

Well, apparently you haven’t listened to any of his speeches. Donald Trump is quite specific about letting Assad and Russia kick all the Islamists out of Syria, including the ones we are supporting with money and material, which appears to be all of them, since those weapons drops seem to have a way of falling into ISIS hands. He has said he will use the banking system to cut off funds to the Islamists. And while I am sure he has a good idea of what else to do since he has been talking to Lt GEN Mike Flynn, he has said he will ask the military what else we can do.

In the meantime, he is going to “raise the rent” on our support to other countries such as the Gulf States.

Now, as a former intelligence analyst and steely-eyed killer of the deep, I think that is about a specific as I would want a President to get about military operations.
