    Wrong, they are terrorist. Ever hear of the enemy of my enemy is my friend?

    The relationship had run its course and we no longer had an obligation to be there.

    The Kurds were not "brother soldiers." They were mercenaries. When mercenaries job is done you pay them and they are on their own.

    I think you are buying into some fake news. This is probably over exaggerated. Sit back and watch, this will all be fixed soon.

    Winston you are taking this way too seriously. Shit happens 24/7/365 and in today's world we know about it instantly. No matter whether you or I are for it against it shit will continue to happen. I never get too upset about anything I see in TV, the internet or in print. None of it would be productive in our real lives with our own day to day situations to deal with.

    The news is like watching a sporting event. Sometimes your side wins and sometimes they lose. None of it changes my life. You and I and almost everybody else are powerless to change or even slightly influence the slightest detail in the course of world events.

    If there were only 50 American soldiers there undoubted they are all professionals. They are not coming home. They will be sent to the next hot spot. It was their choice ro lead that lifestyle. I do care about the lives of regular American military personnel. There lives should take precedence over all else.

    That is why I am in favor of a scorched earth policy. Fuck with us and we turn your country into a parking lot. Destroying Hanoi would have saved a lot of lives in Vietnam.

    Not worrying about events way beyond my control is probably one reason why my blood pressure is normal. Pour yourself a stiff scotch and if you partake have a fatty.

    If you count the first gulf war, We have been over there long enough for 3 generations to fight. Enough is enough

    Again it’s not about whether but when and how. Don’t defend the indefensible just because Trump is under attack.
