We shouldn’t send any troops until we realign ourselves with only using troops with RoE that are favorable to them, when necessary, and with a clear charge and ability to outright win.

Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to go back to Reagan’s approach of so strengthening our military that he doesn’t expect to ever need to use it.

Jeb! and Rubio are much more Graham-like in wanting to send in troops. Reagan is the one master we’ve had on this issue in decades and decades and decades.

What many here call “unhinged”, I call passionate. Unhinged seems to be a very popular term right now.

I say Trump is passionate about his run for President.

Examples of unhinged can be found in some, (that’s SOME for the unhinged) Trump-bashing posts here. Some of those contain language indicative of unhinged behavior. Those very same posts that criticize Trump for being unhinged.

We shouldn't be sending troops in period. But to your point what would constitute a "win"?

Trump has said repeatedly that he wants to go back to Reagan's approach of so strengthening our military that he doesn't expect to ever need to use it.

Trump has also said he wants to defeat ISIS and take their oil. I don't think Reagan would have viewed that as a proper use of the lives of American servicemen.
