Neither are the same situations. Lebanon was a foreign intervention where we just showed up without any plan or purpose. Northern Ireland is a situation where the Brits are fighting against people who think N. Ireland is not British. If U.S. troops show up, they will be welcomed by the People who want the rioting stopped. We don’t allow U.S. citizens to be terrified.
“If U.S. troops show up, they will be welcomed by the People who want the rioting stopped.”
You are so effing wrong, I can only shake my head in despair.
Do you understand that the British troops were greeted in Northern Ireland by the Catholics in 1969 as their protectors?
The same happened in Beirut. The Marines were greeted as protectors.
And the same dynamic happened.
Roses on the way in, bombs on the way out.
It’s just pathetic that folks are still as naive as you.
The Dems destroyed their cities, they have to fix them.
Any outside force sent in “to save them” will take the blame for every stubbed toe or undelivered piece of mail from that day forward.
