Oval Office interfering with day-to-day combat missions, too?
“Won’t risk losing support for domestic agenda by helping military. “
“If he really wants to get it right he needs to fix the ROE (rules of engagement) he’s imposed on our soldiers there”
Then screw it...he should just bring the troops home!! Either way, he’s going to make it impossible for our troops to succeed!
