That thinking is why we're 0-5 since WW2

Yep. Our politicians (not boots) only fight a war to pacify, not to win.

Winning is cheap and does not put money into their pockets.

Now, "nation building" on the other hand dumps loads of tax payer cash out there to be skimmed off into the politicians coffers.

none of the current (D) candidates for POTUS are any kind of military leaders either.

Military leader....hell these misfits could not lead a well trained dog outside to take a crap.

George W Bush is among the very few leaders that conquered Baghdad. The American combined arms accomplished the deed in record time

Since their vote ain’t been (and never will be) ratified, if President Trump decided to respond to this, they’ll say he engineered the attack itself....to falsely prove that presidents need the prerogative...

How far has the media fallen when I find myself impressed over an incomplete, sanely worded initial report?

This is the reaction of Iran to mitts and democraps limiting President Trumps war powers.

So true!

It was all political theater with them.

They cared naught for our men and women in uniform.

I hope those traitors will get what they deserve someday.

I’d prefer Harry Truman.

He knew how to end a war!

Me, too.

Johnson was an alcoholic skirtchaser and a pompous loser.

What he did to this country is irreparable.

The only two prezes I met and shook hands with were Johnson and Carter.

I am so ashamed of myself!
