Most Americans would probably tell you that another stupid war in the Middle East isn’t worth a single American life — or even $1 out of their pockets.
THAT is the political environment today. And I know this because this is why millions of Americans voted for Trump in the first place.

Keeping Iran from a nuclear weapon isn’t a “stupid war”.
Dismantling Iran’s capability to forment terrorism, which has cost thousands of American lives, isn’t a “stupid war”.
What is ‘stupid’ are your comments like this one.
The thing about war is that there are two sides but only one need be willing. Trump never wanted anything to do with any war he could avoid but one side is insane and bucking for nukes and hell bent on bringing back the 12th imam and regards us as Satanic. Not a lot of wiggle room there. Most sane Americans in December 1941 wanted nothing to do with war but they got it because one side was willing.The only bright spot I see in yet another of the endless Middle East conflagrations ( that probably shouldn’t be plural) is that Trump is un like any politician ever; he aims to WIN. Given the crazies we’re dealing with this could go anywhere but they give us no choice and it’s a guy who plays to advance at the helm.
“Most Americans would probably tell you that another stupid war in the Middle East isn’t worth a single American life...”
Then most Americans are IDIOTS. It sure as hell IS worth fighting to stop Iran from gaining nukes and placing them in the hands of rulers who are not deterred by “Mutually Assured Destruction”. It is certainly worth fighting to prevent the USA from being subject to nuclear blackmail by Iran’s mullahs!
Hell, what we did in GW1 & GW2 WAS WORTH IT! No, we didn’t get everything we wanted but we killed huge numbers of terrorists OVER THERE. How many serious terror attacks have happened in the USA since 911? None. That isn’t because of “TSA”!
No, we did not turn Iraq & Afghanistan into good places. After serving in Afghanistan, I favoring nuking the damn country and the batshit crazy, EVIL people living there. Instead, Democrats and Europeans IMPORTED THEM! So we didn’t get all we wanted - or even all could have if GWB hadn’t trusted the State Department.
But we got no more major attacks in the USA. We got allies in the Gulf who are willing to cooperate with us, unlike before. Hell, the COLD WAR involved a series of hot wars that took 50 years to win.
But the big difference is we now have surrender monkeys in the USA, and “Hate America Democrats” who are possibly a majority of voters. And people like you, pushing their crap and swallowing it whole.
“THAT is the political environment today. And I know this because this is why millions of Americans voted for Trump in the first place.”
Please get tired of arguing with your betters.
And the sooner that happens the better.
