President Trump sprung this on the War Hawks completely out of the blue. Right?
The man has been vocal against long protracted, never-ending wars for many years before he ever ran for president.
He stated repeatedly during his campaign he is against long protracted endless war.
He stated repeatedly that his position is IF war is necessary we go in with overwhelming force. Destroy the enemy and then bring our people home.
He stated repeatedly that he favors war only if our interests are threatened and that regional powers take care of their own backyard.
Problem is, Politicians are not used to a man of his word. Politicians are used to telling the people what they want to hear and then doing what the money being donated to their campaigns tell them to do.
Donald J. Trump IS NOT a politician. He has beliefs he actually and honestly believes and acts on his beliefs.
Politicians do not understand this way of thinking and acting at all. It is a foreign concept to them.
As a 26 year career vet I agree with our president completely. Let the regional powers handle their regional problems.
Trump promised to destroy ISIS & then leave Syria.
Promise made, promise kept (hopefully soon).
Well said.
Do you think it might be in our national interest to have our allies trust us not to abandon them when we get fatigued?
