How about sending U.S. troops to protect our borders and push back the invaders? Isn’t the function of the military to protect this country? And how long will we occupy S. Korea to help protect its border, but not our own?
I’m down with that struggle.

Toppling Saddam and Ghaddafi at the behest of neocons has has not worked out so well for Americans.
Not only did we spend trillions making profits for MIC and private contractors, but we also lost huge quality of life for thousands of servicemen and families from grievous wounds and side effects that will require a lifetime of healthcare and support. This doesn’t include those thousands who lost the most of all - their lives.
We didn’t even get access to the oil that was supposed to cover costs. Saddam kept the turmoil and Iran in check. Ghaddafi prevented the millions of illegal immigrants from using Libya as a port of entry for African immigrants going to Europe.
There is an element about ISIS that should make us all very wary and suspicious. Who and why was it was created? The Shiites were never much of a problem in Iran, and in fact we put them as a majority in charge. The Sunnis as a minority killed many Americans. The Sunnis orchestrated 9-11.
When minorities are allowed to have charge of and run countries the outcome is not ever going to be a democracy.
The only solution I support is getting America out of the ME, and start hunkering in and rebuilding the USA for Americans and lowering our debt. We also need to defend our nation from being invaded so slick politicians can divide us and big business gets cheap labor. We the citizenry are being played as saps by the political elites.
Mini McCain speaks?
Hahahaha! :DD
That is awesome!
Do it yourself, Linseed! Pick up your AR and get to it.
Hi.
You missed my point.
Linseed is a reserve JAG officer. I don’t want him making decisions to commit troops. Why? Just look at the thread...
In the fwiw dept, U.S. Army 1975-1980.

Why bring John Kerry into the discussion?
Of all the problems in the muslim world this is the one he thinks we should go to war over?
As they say - He’s eat up with the dumbass.
And what is Russia, which backs Assad, supposed to think about this?
Again with this? We’re line officers, we train the same as anybody else prior to deployment, we do the job we’ve been given, and we’ve got Bronze Star (legit ones), Purple Heart, Air Medal (AF cross-trained pilots) and CIB recipients (Army inter-service transfers) in our ranks. We’ve also had more than one JAG cross-train to PJ duty.
Again, WE PERFORM THE DUTY WE SIGNED UP TO DO. We are officers first, JAGs always.
There. That nerve’s been soothed for the moment. As you were.
Colonel, USAFR
Because this strategy worked so well in Libya, Egypt and Iraq.
“topple Assad” - does the chipmunk cheeked, fudge packing douchebag have any idea what Assad would be replaced with????
“Get rid of Assad...and then what?? Use Libya, or Egypt or Yemen for a model??”
Exactly. That’s some track record, isn’t it?
With all the crazed islamists in that part of the world, the best you’re going to do to keep the lid on things is to have a brutal, authoritarian leader riding herd.
I read through 56 replies, so far no one has pointed out why Linda and John want Assad gone so badly.
The Saudis want to build a pipeline to Europe. Assad is blocking it at the behest of his friend Putin.
There is no American interest in taking out Assad, just as there was no American interest in taking out Quaddafy.
Look how well that has worked out.
He could be our second homosexual president, or third if he waits for Hillary.
Thought about that but, it made me laugh.
LOL
