agree with some of that. Where I draw the line is terrorism. we can’t allow terrorists like ISIS and extremist muslims to just take over countries and take over the world. Coalitions should do the work and not just US. In fact had a coalition started last June they could have easily dispensed with ISIS when they were marching in the desert. actually aerial bombardment would have done a lot of the work early on. so I am not an isolationist but we have to pick our battles and thus far we are not doing too good post-WW II.
Yes, fighting terrorism is much different than invading countries like Iraq or Iran. I am 1000% for expanding special ops to kill or capture terrorist groups. Capturing them is better than droning them, for the simple reason droning demolishes any chance of gathering intelligence on future plots. Those type of efforts do not drain the treasury anything like full scale military invasions.
As for ISIS, I would much rather prefer soldiers of neighboring countries shedding blood instead of American blood. It is disgraceful that Pesh Murga is not being given tools to fight ISIS.
