Lost in all of that are the families and friends of the 80 killed and 200 wounded in the Battle for Ramadi.
It is a bitter pill we ask them now to swallow. I have a very close friend who was in this who thinks this nation should not be trusted with the lives of warriors in any kind of extended combat. It is no longer an integritous keeper of their blood.
A feckless US policy that bounces from administration to administration. Republican candidates are busy outdoing themselves over “should we have invaded Iraq under Bush”.

Just remember, the policy became Feckless under H.W. Bush and never got better.
Good for him. This is the attitude Americans should have had for 200+ years. No U.S. troops in Third World sh!t-holes while the privileged children of our ruling class stays home to attend Ivy League schools.
bomb cars were driven by Muslims from West Europe, who had traveled through Syria to join up with ISIS in Iraq. The jihadists named one of them as “Abu Musa al-Britani.” Just Thursday, May 14, the British police revealed that more than 700 potential terror suspects had traveled to Syria from the U.K. to fight or support extremists, and about half are believed to have returned, primed for terrorist operations on home ground.

time to get crackin.
The pinnacle of islam
It’s a nice place to visit, but I wouldn’t want to....visit there.
“No U.S. troops in Third World sh!t-holes while the privileged children of our ruling class stays home to attend Ivy League schools.”
Agree 1000%. I deeply resent how cavalier our politicians and the kneepad media are when America’s best are killed and maimed; meanwhile their own children are exempt from sacrifice.
Sadly, I haven’t come across too many who see it the way you do.
It became feckless in Vietnam. That’s when we began this “extended war by rotation” insanity. You’re either all in or you’re not in. That should be US policy.
All in or NOT in
Whether a strike or a full blown war. No more “Marines at war while America’s at the mall”.
We will have to fight a war here before we ever get back to logical governance again.
The elitist class is so far removed from the everyday average citizen that the gulf between us can never be overcome but with submission from one side or the other.
Sometimes I think these long wars are a way to kill off or maim the best and brightest conservatives, while leftists live and prosper.

My son was in Ramadi. I bet he is spitting nails right now.
