Unfortunately, it now looks like we’re going to be fighting them over there AND over here.
Purge the existing PC crowd. Trump can Executive Action to ax women in combat and toss out the homos and lefties. 10% cut across the board and retire the Obamabots.
Then lean down the armed forces and give them raises.
We need to do a 30% cut across the board to all government agencies to purge the Democrats and unionists from fleecing the American public.
I guess we’ll need an update to Over There..
Over Here Over There
Sad , now old Romans are our brothers and sisters..
Their ghosts watch our slow gradual slide..

Duty Calls
They want us to commit troops to a long protracted war. They are committing atrocity after atrocity to goad us into World War III.
The article says:
“No piece of territory is truly secure until the infantry marches in and plants the flag”.
We don’t plant flags. In Desert Storm a soldier climbed up the barrel of a tank and hung an American flag. He immediately took it down. The press, along with the white house, condemned the action.
I think the last flag we planted was on the moon in 1969. And if we went there today we’d take it down and apologize to the universe.
ISIS could’ve been put down back in the ‘long Toyota truck convoy’ days but 0dunga has rather enjoyed watching this cancer grow and spread like the cancer it is. 0dunga loves watching Europe be consumed by the Islamic Caliphate and here in the U.S. too HE IS HELPING THEM.
Their are tens of thousands of US troops that are not active duty who would gladly go over as mercenaries. As someone has to do if pay for the travel and equipment and you’d have a rdy made army without “US boots on the ground”. Most people know that obama would frag them in a heart beat and only a brave few have been willing to dive into the mess.
However if the government clearly the way and put the iraqi kurds in charge of it then isis would be dealt with in months.... possible weeks.
Once again isis’s biggest ally is obama. He gave them most of the gear they have and he’s protected them from both US and iraqi kurd forces.
It’s a very bad idea to send our troops into battle with a gang of traitors in charge, who are covertly working for the other side.
This is our president telling ISIS, "DO NOT RISK YOUR LIFE"
True. 0dunga killed over 3 times the number of troops in Iraq and Afghanistan than Bush did, and you would EXPECT your greatest number of casualties to occur DURING INVASION, but this is NOT the case if you look at the numbers.
Post #11, that’s “OUR TROOPS” not theirs.
Needless to say, the media ranted about American deaths in Iraq on a daily basis while Bush was in office. But they have swept Obama’s casualty figures under the rug.
That’s the problem right there, and not bombing if there’s a chance of civilians being hit. I don’t want to see our good people die for a perpetual war between the factions of Islam. they are all against us. We need to defend ourselves.
A civilian under contract to drive oil trucks for ISIS, IS ISIS by extension. Otherwise, not many civilians around oil truck parking lots.
killing the bastards has a very long term impact....
Now before going be sure to liberally carpet bomb and napalm the entire region under ISIS control, this will minimize casualties greatly. (If you ask nicely, maybe Uncle P. will lob a few tactical nukes their way before you go in). Oh wait, you say you cannot do that because some civilian might die? Too bad, either go to war there like you mean it or stay home and die here.
What about all the other radical Islamists who want to kill us? The crazy Muslims are everywhere. Where do we send troops?
The best thing we can do is fight them with sane immigration policies.
There is one and only one way to defeat ISIS. That is to send in American forces to wipe them out. We don’t have to stay. We can pull out after they have been crushed. To think we can stop them any other way is just foolish.
I agree, and that’s probably the best response yet.
We’ll be fighting them both here and there before it’s over.
I would prefer to have mostly troops from Arab countries fighting them over there, but so far I haven’t seen many willing to actually do it. Even though their countries are at stake.
We trained and supplied the Iraqi army, they threw down their guns and ran at the first shots. Arguably that was because their leadership had been wiped out.
We spent some 500 million and trained a whole 5 people...
Obama has not effectively dealt with this at all. Bombing empty buildings at 2am doesn’t do a lot of damage. Refusing to hit a group gathered outside a large city, preparing to attack, was an incredibly bad idea. They sat out there in the open for at least 2 weeks, Obama did nothing, So they took over the city.
Now he’s bringing in “refugees” who we know are infested with ISIS fighters.
You’re right, we’ll end up fighting them here and over there, whether we send troops now or not.
This article does have some good points. Our military has been gutted, the DOD has been trying to cut the numbers down to WWII levels for the past year, morale is bad, training is not what it once was, I’m not sure out guys are actually ready for a real fight.
