There's got to be something wrong with that survey ...
cause no good community organizer would ever
completely lose the confidence and trust of his troops!

Chances are good that the other 25% are all REMFs.

Cut a pay raise to 1% and ask them to commit to another chance to die. Go figure there reluctance to die for another country.

75% of Troops Oppose Strikes On Syria Now ask them if they are willing to go get the guys who killed the ambassador.

at what point would a war with Syria be “dying for their country”?
None.
And that is why we have NO business sending our troops over there.

AMEN!
My personal philosophy is ... get us the hell out of the middle east. Just like in VN ... we had no business being there and should have gotten out of there as soon as possible.

Have not heard REMF for a long, long time.

After years of exposure to Muslims, the correct question is would you go to Syria to take out the Muslims. I suspect the numbers would shift significantly, but getting involved in a civil war for any other reason than killing islamist is foolish.
The active duty men and women understand the problems of Syria, Bio and chemical weapons; with some Iraqi type clannishness, tribal mentality and a multi-tiered caste? system of the connected or not.Syrians I have met strike me a Palestinians with education and a future, as opposed to Palestinians who are slaves to a manufactured past.

We fight terrorists in the mid east with the world’s best trained and equipped military or we fight them in our streets, we’ve made the choice. We’re not the one choosing to fight, muslim terrorists have chosen this war. I would let everyone in Syria kill themselves, no American participation. Additionally, when we do fight, we unleash the military to win the war not play PC with the enemy.
To: Redak
All of those knuckledragging illiterate head choppers have one thing they can agree on
They hate Americans. Sure, sure - lets go over there and sort it all out - sounds like another great idea from the people who brought you Libya, Egypt, Obamaphones and the worst economy since forever.
WHAT COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG?

You beat me.
The current ROE will (and is ) getting our people slaughtered.
To bad the mighty MSM won’t report it.

As veteran of VN, I know what the wrong ROE can mean to a military force.
