Sounds like offense was not allowed under Obama - a one-sided fight.
Let's see how things change when we are allowed to get the bad guys.

This must be why McCain is demanding detailed information to pass on to his “constituents”

Wow, now will probably win the war in five or six months and have a surrender ceremony in the spring!
Does anybody realize how far down we’ve sunk that we’re literally celebrating that our troops can fire at the enemy without waiting for the enemy to fire at them first?
No change in Rules of Engagement makes that a winnable War.

I don’t know. I read ‘relaxed’, not ‘re-wrote’ and a damn far cry from “Release the hounds!”
When’s the last report of the fly boys coming back still fully stocked? Course, we’ve recently had two Navy craft seemingly adrift in the oceans...and STILL wound up crashing into other ships (I haven’t heard word YET on the why/how there).

I wish we would just get out of there, but if we’re going to stay, let our troops shoot straight and kill many enemy.

Our military serves one purpose; to destroy our enemies!
Let's quit the LGBT bullshit, the sensitivity training bullshit, the masking of radical Islamist bullshit...... and PUT AN END TO OUR ENEMIES!!!

“Yes, sir.”

“Yes, sir.”
“Now, go fight that way.”
“Why?”
“It’s to keep from making them angry.”

When lots and lots of taliban and their wives are killed, things will ease up considerably

Is this because we no longer have an apparently-Muslim president trying to save the lives of his fellow Muslim perverts.
