My theory is that most representatives and senators derive compensation through the military - industrial complex. They keep the money flowing to themselves as long as we are fighting a war somewhere . . . which is why we are constantly at war. Lindsey is pi$$ed because Trump is proposing to cut into his income.
Obama deliberately “lost the peace” in Iraq. As far as ISIS goes, I hope Trump takes precautions to keep that from happening. But I view this not so much as Trump soft-balling ISIS, but Trump hitting at the political class where it hurts: in the pocket book. I believe the political class is hopelessly corrupt.
