Should U.S. forces operating in Libya be under another country’s command? No – Even in a coalition, American forces should always be under American command.
Yes – We don’t always need to be leading the charge.
Don’t know – Can our military refuse an order from a foreign commander? I’m confused.
Don’t care.

Man, if I need a sarcasm tag on that...
US Forces shouldn’t even be in Libya, Iraq or Afghanistan. If those in charge can’t put forth a clear mission statement that includes the clear cut goal and an exit strategy that is fully comprehendable by even E2 grunts we shouldn’t be there. We didn’t learn diddly squat from Vietnam where we lost 58K US servicemen spent trillions in today’s dollars and gained nothing of value for the USA.
Today we trade and vacation in Vietnam as if nothing ever happened. War is bull crxp as Gen. Smedley Butler (most decorated ever) to paraphrase once said
No service man should ever be sent into combat unless the POTUS and Congress and profiteering business interests lead the charge. Allow them to establish the beach head and then young Americans may follow.
Most of the Presidents want war but only because they want a room in their library to display their accomplishments. Most are gutless elites.
All of our troops have been under foreign command since January 20, 2009. If you don’t like it, you must be a racist. /s
Black Hawk Down Redux anyone? Or, how about this? Warning: GRAPHIC. “U.S Soldier dragged through Mogadishu”

Well put! Thank you for clarifying the reality behind those questions.
You are absolutely correct...It is absurd the question should even be asked...Google “Michael New”...
The poll already presumes the US should be taking part in the military action as a given, without the option of a “Hell, NO! We don’t belong there in the first place”, or in Iraq or Afghanistan either...
The ground work for this UN interventionism was laid by the NWO or one-worlder “progressives” in WWII, and began in earnest in Korea...
And notice that in cooperation with the UN, the US has failed to decisively “win” in every encounter since...
With the US bearing the brunt of fighting and paying the largest share if not all the bill...
US Out of The UN, and UN out of the US, ASAP!

Had a lot of arguments with pro-intervention FReepers who couldn`t make themselves understand the likelihood U.S. forces will at some point serve under UN or some other nation`s flag.
