A war is typically fought by a country or group of countries against an opposing country or group with the aim of achieving an objective through the use of force. The objectives vary with the desired result. We fought in WW II because the Japanese were a nation developing faster than their capacity. So they stretched their control out and because of their fear of us, attacked us. We fought in Vietnam because of treaty requirements we had when the French pulled out. We fought in Iraq because of the threat of their leadership and their efforts to assist terrorism with weapons, funds, manpower and safe haven that had leaked over into our country. I could go on, but I displayed three different reasons for wars. There are more, but none are personal.
The US has never fought a war because we didn’t like or dislike the people we were engaged with. It was always over land, the illusion of power, property, and trade. that’s one of the reasons our current war is so different. We are engaged with people that just flat don’t like us because of our religions and what they are trying to do to everyone. And we are their biggest and most powerful opponent willing to stand up to them...kinda.
So pulling out of a conflict now is just an indication to our enemies of our weakness and will prompt a greater amount of further attacks until our way of life will be disengaged. We have problems like this now, but no one is talking about it.
Therefore, as long as we engage them until they are defeated, and I don’t see it as they have been at it since the 7th century, it just doesn’t end with the throwing of a switch. And walking away from it is going to increase it. But doing it for political reasons when many people have died or worse would be an insult to our people and a full embarrassment for why we went in to begin with to protect ourselves.
Remember...you are working against people who gladly die for their God with nothing to gain. And you thought our kids were being programed by public education?

Attack and screw the miscellaneous deaths, kill them all and let GOD sort them out. Kill until these Muslim bastards need to start over as civilized people. Sheesh! What do these civilian politicians of ours NOT understand???? This began with the Democrats at Mi Lai.
