Just a thought, but might it not be better to deploy our troops to Mexico to help their authorities take care of the drug problem? I know (obviously) that their authorities would not agree - since they are almost as corrupt as the Obamaloon Clown Show of Felon/Cretins.
After all, at least with Mexico, we’re starting with people that have a civilized faith.
Muslim countries are doomed to forever exist in the past anyway. Perhaps strengthening our hemisphere might prove fruitful given that the mid east is already a muslim hell with Europe soon to follow.
(Yup, I know the many reasons this idea is not workable...but I’d rather see us work with Mexico - thereby aiding us in a very direct fashion - than throw more lives and money towards places in which tribalism will always prevail.)
That would make sense except there are too many US politicians on the cartel payrolls and Mexico is running out of oil, so in the absence of a Drug War a whole lot of people would be out of jobs/offices.
