For the first time a majority (53 percent) of the public wants to send ground troops to battle ISIS...yeah, until next month when something else catches their attention and they decide the going is too tough and they'd rather be engaged in other activities - the US public is feckless, fickle, and has the attention span and emotional maturity of the typical fifteen year old.....

>> We have neglected our armed forces for a long time and we cannot now expect that they will perform as they did in generations past.

The totality of performance may be different, but no doubt individual performance is no less.

I concur. A couple of sorties with some A-10s would have cleared this problem up two years ago.
