Our wars MUST indeed be fought right or not at all. No nation building. No humanitarian waste of $$$$$ better used on the military rebuilding. No boots on the ground. Maximum death from the sky for the enemy.
I don't personally care whether the Iraqis worship Mickey Mouse or the fictional god of the 7th century camel jockey/child molester. We don't really need their oil any more now that comrade imam is out of the White House come 1/20/17.
There may be a mini-feather of isolationists wimps who convinced themselves that Trump was in their camp. They can leave now and be replaced by patriots and veterans who can join a movement that looks like our military at war. Trump can bring jobs to the inner cities and the rest of the country, cultivate blacks and Hispanics, build the wall to protect everyone's job and leave the airy fairy distaste for necessary wars to the elitists and other demonrats.
Compared to the massive cost of the welfare state, death from the sky is downright economical and does not put American lives at risk.
Even incompetently fought and dragging all the unnecessary "humanitarian" baggage, we won the war you despise and had So Damn Insane hanged. Get over it.
I would also close most American military bases around the world. We need some naval bases to repair and refuel ships. We need a few strategically placed airfields to land, repair and refuel planes. We could easily abrogate the spaghetti bowl of entangling treaties, expel the UN and stop funding it and stop kissing its anti-American diployakker ass.
If you don't care enough about your country to advance its interests in the world, then why should you have a say in foreign and military policy. We are not going to become creampuff nation, sitting around the old camp fire with our enemies crooning Kumbaya. There are entire peace creep nations out there. Move to one.
I am enjoying your posts. I basically agree.
What I wonder about is, Wasn’t the Iraq War different from the Obama efforts to destabilize the Middle East? Saddam’s nuclear plant had to be destroyed by Israel in 1981. Saddam was giving $25,000 to every family that lost a jihadi. It seemed to me that the world was stable after we won in Iraq, until Obama came along and (purposely? for political reasons and other reasons?) destroyed the victory.
Then he began the destruction of our allies in the Middle East, in order to create chaos and a radical Muslim dominance.
You are very well informed, so I would be interested in your opinion. It seems to me that you can’t put Gulf Wars I and II in the same basket with the Arab Spring. The first was in our interests. The second wasn’t.
