You ready to die for a yazidi? CHRISTIAN or send your child to do so?

What do you have against Christians?

But to answer your question, perhaps you should direct your angst to the thousands of American soldiers who volunteered for the Iraq war...............Do you have a problem with them too?

Since they volunteered while YOU SAT HOME, you have no horse in this race..........

technical point, the yazidis (who ever even heard of them before last week) aren’t “Christians”
They are dying because they aren’t muslims but that doesn’t mean they are Christians

after the yazidis it will be other non mulims or “apostates” meet the same barbarism- especially the shia
so what kind of “rescue” mission do you propose sport?
F-18’s are not a strategy

I have no “problem” with the troops who were ordered into war by Bush and who went and served. They served and many died. In vain.

I have a problem with obama biden and kerry as the current command authority. We all should.

I served 22 military years in the preceding generation. Thanks to American politicians 2 million Vietnamese and Cambodians died after my service, which was also in vain.
Now I “sit home” because I am too old to serve. Not that I would serve Obama. But I have a voice and I have the right to use it whether I serve or I sit at home

The potential horse I have in this race is my children and I will not sacrifice them to the same brain-dead america-hating political class ordering them to serve in a nonwinnable conflict to “save” people who hate America, as they have done for the past 50 years.

Sending US troops to Iraq this time is not about morality, Yazidis or Christians, it is about obama’s poll numbers as the decisions he and the democrats made about Iraq bear fruit. Before elections.

Such unfortunate timing. Genocide is such bad PR for sitting presidents. Clinton was able to ignore Rwanda genocide (shh, not even use the word) when hutu slaughtered Tutsi before his elections. where was the rescue force? obama not so lucky

There 700,000 yazidis. Let their men join the kurds and fight for their own families

where is the UN on this? Too busy lambasting Israel to even comment and we are with the UN
