We already are giving in. This war has had 10 times more casualties than it needed to because of our tiptoeing around politics. If this war was run by the military and not politicians, we would've leveled every mosque than a bullet came from, leveled every Syrian terrorist camp, tortured every prisoner for vital information, and called the media on every lie they constructed.
Do you have a link for that number, or any data to back anything in your statement up?
Or are you just uttering an uneducated personal opinion and pretending it's a fact?
