Although not a member of Congress, I, too, would have voted against such a lame idea. If I were in charge, I would simply say they have rifles, and they know how to use them. End of story.

Since when do we send our military out to build schools and deliver food? Since the end of sanity, that's when. That's the problem with stupid civilians trying to run a war. Either it is a war, or it isn't , and if it isn't, don't send them.

“Although not a member of Congress, I, too, would have voted against such a lame idea.”

You vote with Democrats then.

“Since when do we send our military out to build schools and deliver food? “

Despite the fact that that is a simplification of what is going on, our military fights in reality, not our utopian version of the way things should be.

Our military’s hands are tied and they are there. They need to be able to fight and defend themsleves, not be hamstrung by Obama’s pathetic attempts at getting our soldiers killed.
